But, Digikam (by default) proposes to *copy* the files to a destination directory within its directory tree (Collections/Albums). Just "loading" or "importing" a folder with Darktable leaves the images where they are (in this case, on the camera) and does *not* copy anything. It only loads them into its database, and generates a thumbnail. On editing, it will try to generate a sidecar in the *same* folder as the image. As you seem to be using both Digikam and Darktable, here is my workflow (for what it's worth): Import in Digikam -> rename, cull, tag, and add captions and titles in Digikam -> switch to Darktable to edit and export. That's because I prefer the Digikam interface for renaming, culling, and all metadata operations, but I like the Darktable editor better.
