Note that Calibre uses forward slashes (/) for folders in Save to disk templates.

Plus given backslash is a special character for regex, I think the use of it in tags or custom columns might prove problematic for templates. Is there a reason for using \ in tags? If it's just to create folders for Save to disk templates, then you don't need to.

Example:
Save to disk template

Code:

{#fandom:re(\.,/)}/{#storyid}/{author} - {title}

#fandom (hierarchichal)
Xover.Buffy.Supernatural

#storyid
9797629

author
hoshi-ni-onegai

title
Eternal Oblivion

This will give me the following structure:

Code:

Xover/
  Buffy/
    Supernatural/
      9797629/
        hoshi-ni-onegai - Eternal Oblivion.epub
