hmm.. would there be a chance that the tmp folder gets cleared out by the n900 by certain apps on occasion? I havent tested, but I figure its called tmp for a reason =D

The easiest solution is to put the files you want hidden from media player and from the photos is by putting or moving them into the cities folder.. =)
raddg has a point. it is called tmp for a reason. Which serves short of temporary. This is the same way I did in hiding videos in my N97 before and it still works in N900.

Please note that there is a great tool in extras-devel that provides a graphical user interface that allows you to configure which directories are indexed and which not. For me this is the easiest way to do this.
The tool is called tracker-cfg

come on, storing images in tmp or cities folder is lame. Just edit the tracker.cfg file to select which dirs should be indexed -- you don't even need root access for that.
