Am I correct in believing that if I use the "Replace" option described in the FAQ, the thousands of files in the base directory will actually be moved to their new locations (as opposed to deleted and re-downloaded)?

No, you are not correct. The old book files will be deleted when the new book file is is downloaded. The effect is the same as overwriting the existing file.

Or, if I pop the SD card into my computer and rearrange manually, will CC find them in the new locations?

This won't work because a) CC won't know you did it, and B) the chances of getting the names exactly as CC produces isn't high.
Two thoughts:
- It seems that the OS (Android) keeps some caches of directories. If this is true then sending new books should be much faster even if the library has not yet been "cleaned".
- You can download books in segments rather easily by deleting the existing book files with a file manager then using the Wireless Device/Sync Books connection type. CC assumes that missing book files need to be re-downloaded.
EDIT: if you are going to do a massive re-download be sure to use the CC V5.1.3.3 released today. It has fixes for some strange Android behavior when file names differ only in letter case.
