2 "empty" albums" reflect contents of next added album

please, check out the url...

(note: the album is normally not open for public viewing, so in the far future (months out?), if you're looking at this- expect the link not to work)
and notice that the first album is the most recent... then the second is the second most recent... but the third and fourth are copies of the first!

before adding the most recent, those two albums showed a whole string of errors, pertaining to the fact that "album07" did not exist. which it didn't, at that point. couldn't delete the two non-albums, because you can't delete what's not there.

but- once I added the new album-
the other two reflect its content.
if I try to delete either of the other two- the most recent is deleted, and we go back to having two empty ones- with errors.
if i delete the most recent- the other two remain, but empty again.

how can I remove these two dopplegangers!?!?

if you want to see how it looks with the most recent removed.. comment here and I'll get right to it.

::HUGE EDIT::

So i went and renamed the most recent album.. to something other than "album07" ... and now the other two do not reflect its contents! now we're back to the issue of having two empty albums with all the errors! for your viewing pleasure!

where does gallery store the info about which albums are where? it looks like something broke and I may have to manually edit something, but for the life of me.. I don't know where to begin.

I also have the issue of the fact that its probably in an Apache writable file that my user account won't have an easy time editing.. but that's the least of the issues.

Suggestions?
