Nothing odd about that at all, actually. The Kindle reads *all* files within the entire directory tree under /documents, regardless of any sub-folders that you may have created. In other words, any items you move from /documents to /documents/backup/ will still be read and show up on your home page. When you moved your original prc and mbp to a sub-directory, it still found and read your original mbp file.
If you want to create an on-Kindle backup (for some reason), just create a new top-level directory.
By the way, did you know that you can put a zip file of jpgs in the /documents folder and the Kindle will create a home page entry with the zip name and display the pics when you select it?
