I tried the workaround from #7 and it didn't work -- digikam gave me a message about being unable to convert the database to the new format.  No idea what that's about.

I did find a different, not very satisfying workaround:

1. Move your pictures to a directory on the remote storage device, putting them in a directory called, say, /remdevice/Pictures.

2. Remove the digikamrc file and start up digikam again as suggested in #7.

3. Create a symlink from ~/Pictures/Remote_Albums to /remdevice/Pictures.

Now the pictures on the remote device are available, but are one level down from the top.

Really, all this shouldn't be necessary.  At a minimum, digikam shouldn't hang when the Albums Library Folder is specified as being on a network device.
