This was my fault, I'd removed code while i was testing without
realising that was altering the string to fit into the database naming
style. So when i was editing the location i was sending rhythmbox a
bad location string, which must be why the new entry was created.

I did also found another way to update entries rather than using
entry.__setsttr__. There is entry_set which is part of db:

self.db.entry_set(self.entry, RB.RhythmDBPropType.LOCATION, self.location)

If anyone else is having trouble this is probably a much better way to
do it. (and will save you a lot of time spent in the Python Console ;)
)
