I went into "C"'s collection and went to file/ "add/re-scan" and went to a folder that is covered in the "H" collection and tried to add it to my "C" collection. I am not trying to drag/drop from one to the other if that's what you mean... it wont let me.

Yes I changed C:\'s collection value to C:\My Music. That is what I had to change to make the "H" not cross pollinate into "C"'s collection. I wonder if change it back, will I be able to add/re-scan a folder in another collection to make it add to the "C"?
I let it run all night and I now have about 48K files in my "C" collection (which is what it was and that's good) I also now have about 46K files in my "H" collection which did not cross-pollinate into "C"!!
To answer your earlier question about options for rules, the first option I can use is by collection so I think it will keep "silos" for each collection per rule. I am going to have 4 collections by the time this is all done. I have 2 other collections to populate before I start to figure out the auto-organize rules/watch folders.
I also have found out that the "entire library" node is awesome!! I can sort by anything I want to see my 2 collections (so far) populated. So so so so awesome!!
