OK, maybe we should add this to the default list.

I think this is a historical reference to when a few banks were in the src
directory. We should probably remove it now :)

It looks like you are pointing the root path *into* a bank, you should point it
to were the bank *is*
So bank foo in {username}/mysounds with instruments bar1, bar2,bar2
the root path should be /home/{username}/mysounds.
Traditionally all default bank collections have been in a directory called
banks. There was a suggestion that this should be a hard requirement, but I
didn't want yoshi to be that demanding!
Do the instruments in your bank have the 4 digit number prefix? We've tested
that the structure works correctly if some don't have a prefix, but I'm not
sure how it would behave if none of a large collection were prefixed. This
wouldn't be very stable anyway as any additions or removals would shuffle them
around.
