granted, that's a pain-in-the-a** to manually edit. but how about this:

mv ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml rbdb-backup.xml
sed -e 's,home/RBlibrary,Places/Music,g' rbdb-backup.xml > 
~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml
mv home/RBlibrary Places/Music

you still have the backup, in case anything goes wrong. let me know if it 
works. ;);) (if you're reckless, you can 
sed -ie 's,home/RBlibrary,Places/Music,g' ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml 
to change the library directly)
