beet move not rewriting artist names

[pnelson]

Hey, we discussed this a bit in IRC the other day.

The relevant part of my filesystem at /mnt/storage/Public/Music looks something like this...

drwxr-x---  3 pnelson users 4.0K Apr  1 08:08 Macklemore
drwxr-x---  3 pnelson users 4.0K Apr  1 08:09 Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
drwxr-x---  9 pnelson users 4.0K Apr  4 07:49 Nine Inch Nails
drwxr-x---  3 pnelson users 4.0K Apr  1 08:22 Selena Gomez
drwxr-x---  5 pnelson users 4.0K Apr  1 08:22 Selena Gomez & The Scene
drwxr-x---  3 pnelson users 4.0K Apr  4 07:53 Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross

Here is my latest config file as per beet config -e.

directory: /mnt/storage/Public/Music
library: /mnt/storage/Public/Music/library.db
plugins: rewrite fetchart embedart lyrics
import:
  move: yes
paths:
  default: $albumartist/$year $album/$track $title
  singleton: Miscellaneous/$artist/$title
  comp: Compilations/$album%aunique{}/$track $title
rewrite:
  artist .*macklemore.*: Macklemore
  artist .*selena gomez.*: Selena Gomez
  artist .*trent reznor.*: Nine Inch Nails
path_sep_replace: ' '

When I run beet move I expect that the rewrite rules will apply and I should end up with something like this...

drwxr-x---  3 pnelson users 4.0K Apr  1 08:08 Macklemore
drwxr-x---  9 pnelson users 4.0K Apr  4 07:49 Nine Inch Nails
drwxr-x---  3 pnelson users 4.0K Apr  1 08:22 Selena Gomez

I am using the Debian sid package, v1.3.8. beet version reports that the plugin is in use.

beets version 1.3.8
plugins: embedart, fetchart, lyrics, rewrite
