There appears to a be a bug (in several recent builds) that prevents the media folder preference being correctly saved for some users. If you can arrange to have the library database at <somepath>\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl and the media folder at <somepath>\iTunes\iTunes Media then this bug should not be an issue.
