I import images from SD cards into a hard drive using LRc for that. This way LR is aware of the entire event - location, folder names, etc. I specify new folder names & locations during the process, all that in LR. I second what other posters have said - all subsequent changes MUST be done from within LR otherwise you'll need to point LR to the changes.
