Phone file structure is not updating! or correct (via USB). Losing files!

A weird one here regarding file structure. Can you help? Have a pressed a crazy setting somewhere?
This has caused me to lose photos so quite important! :( I'd hate other to have this issue to without realizing!

If i take a photo on my phone. it goes to the SD Card/DCIM/100ANDRO folder.
If i go to ALBUM app and view that file and move it to another location (i.e SD Card/Backup) the file moves..
If i look at the photo again and look at its 'details' the folder location is showing the new location
If I use 'File Commander' app, it shows it has moved too to the new location.

All good!

If i then go to my laptop, and plug my USB into my phone (or view my phone files via the Wireless Media Transfer) and view my phone files. the photo has NOT moved location.

BUT, if i physically remove my mico SD card from my phone, place it into my card reader attached to my laptop, the SD card shows that the file HAS moved.
It seems the usb cable connectivity is not showing the updated file location.
How can this be?

Also. If i view the photo and move it via 'File Commander' app, according to my phone the file gets moved. But when i view my files via USB cable, the the file has been copied (not moved)to the new location, so now there is a duplicate.
And also, now according to the 'Album' app, the file has moved to it's new location but there is a corrupt image file in the old location.

Because I file manage via my phone and then manually connect via USB and back up files and file manage there too, because the file locations are different, I have managed to lose photos.

It seems i shouldn't use a USB cable to view my phone, but i should eject my micro SD and view it away from the phone! But Why?

Can anyone shed a light on this annoying problem/bug?

Thanks
