In generating your directory tree for an album, try using "ls -AR" so you get any and all subdirectories and don't ignore any entries starting with "." (except the repetitive "." and ".." entries). Using "ls -AlR" will add lots more information in a long-form listing.
Also, the MPD documentation says of the .mpdignore trick
I haven't been using the trick but from the phrase I emphasized I infer that you need only place the file at the entry-level of your directory tree rather than on every album subdirectory.

Quote:To exclude a file from the update, create a file called .mpdignore in its parent directory. Each line of that file may contain a list of shell wildcards. Matching files in the current directory and all subdirectories are excluded.
