If I remember correctly, the structure in LR3 changed to accommodate multiple sources. Also, I have experienced some issues when migrating a modified catalog to LR3. So I think it does not work well in newer versions. Fortunately, the "find missing files" works much better, and they do better support network drives, making these manipulations not needed anymore. Hope it helps! Guillermo Hi Nate,

After browsing one interested in using this approach to quickly update folder paths, looks like some of the table names have changed. I don't see a table called Adobe_imageFiles table though did find ones like AGLibraryRootFolder, AGLibraryFolder and AGLibraryFile. Appears I can accomplish what's needed by editing pathFromRoot in AGLibraryFolder but don't see a table with name like %Tag%. There are some with Keyword in name but none with an apparent path column. Thanks, Nate Question… have you spent any time researching using same technique on LR v3 database?
