Example:
A book has the tags: History, English, Fiction
The tags variable: "History, English, Fiction"
Sorted: "English, Fiction, History
Directory: X:/documents/English/Fiction/History/book.mobi
As far as I understand, that way each book has a unique folder location, has just one copy and ACK can generate the collections from the segments of the path.
What do you think? I'd do it but have almost zero programming skills.

It's possible that the creator of Calibre could add this type of output creation. He seems pretty open to requests; have you tried asking him to do this?
It's something that could work well. Manual management of the tags field would still be necessary, I think (some of the books I have came with a ridiculous number of tags, which is unhelpful), but some people might like that. Personally I'd rather declare a few columns for tags that I'll use (as described previously), since with individual columns you can sort by content. A Read_Status column, for example; if you click on the column header, you can sort by whether you've read books in your library. Then it's easier to go through and make changes to that status as you read the books. But we all have different preferences, I suppose.
