Neil -- no problem.

Let's say you want to make your youtube video directory on your external SD card (/media/mmc1):

mkdir /media/mmc1/youtube

this will create the directory. Now, we'll move the already collected files in your canola youtube directory there:

mv /home/user/.canola/youtube/videos/* /media/mmc1/youtube/

that'll put everything you've collected so far into the new directory. Now that the directory is empty, you can remove it:

rmdir /home/user/.canola/youtube/videos/

now, just create the link:

ln -s /media/mmc1/youtube/ /home/user/.canola/youtube/videos/

when you next start up canola, it'll find all the stuff you've previously saved there, in the new directory.
