I see.
Not that it's a big deal for me now, because my Folder Metadata generation script seems to force ES to display the folder properly, but in future it would be nice for a way to disable that via settings or something...
Here is the updated Python Code. This works for me only because:
I generated the folder names based off the ROM names (stripping them of the region suffix tags etc)
Have already moved all the ROMS into their respective folder.
Folder metadata will only be applied if the ROM it contains already has been scraped

I suppose can be run straight from the Pi if Python is installed. or else just use WinSCP to transfer, modify and return the gamelist.xml file as normal.
