Hi Ray, As of right now, Shotwell will not move your photo files on disk when you change their exposure date and time, so what you're seeing is the expected behavior. We do, however, have an open feature request to implement exactly the functionality you're looking for here: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/2824. The good news is that we've already gotten a preliminary patch for this from an outside contributor, so hopefully this behavior will be implemented in the next release of Shotwell, 0.12, which should appear early next year.
