Default Ringtones Problem

I'm using Andot's WM6 Perfect ROM, and everything seems really great.

For some reason I can't change the location of my ringtones

In my registry I have entered this string:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory =
\storage card\Windows

Because my device seems to keep its ringtones in the Windows directory instead of the \windows\rings\

But I can't seem to select any ringtones,,,,
Is there something wrong with my edit? Is there something special about the ringtones (naming or bitrate)?

Just a follow-up:

There has also been similar discussion on the Tornado forum, with more responses...

Essentially, it's ignoring the registry setting in hkcu/control panel/soundcategories and will only recognise foreign sound files in the directory \windows\application data\sounds
And only in phone memory, not storage.

Can anyone imagine any setting that might cause it to override or ignore the soundcategories registry entry?
