Perhaps you have already noticed the creating of files called 
ginpfolder.xml in your subdirectories? You have to create this file 
manually to anchor the root and first level of your collection, but 
others are built automatically.

I haven't investigated why these files are created, or how to get 
additional tags into them, but it certainly seems to be the best place 
to start your research.
