duplicate_action: merge creates new folder. Duplicates Plugin duplicates files (ironically) #6592

While completing some of my already-downloaded incomplete albums, I've noticed that this "merge" option does NOT actually merge them path-wise.

This results in folder structures like this:

M:.
├───[2021] CHOCOLATE EN RAMA
├───[2021] Pirateship [4173]
├───[2021] Pirateship [5766]
└───[2024] Todo terreno

Between brackets it's, I'm guessing, the catalognum of beets, or the internal albumID of beets.

I've also set up my Duplicates Plugin's configuration to merge: yes, and it goes through the same process. So I guess Duplicates uses internally the same commands as beets itself.

Nor beet update or beet move help reordering the directories. And each time I use beet dup -a, it creates yet another copy of the same duplicate files and it does NOT add it to beet's database. Thanks to this, my library is a mess.
