Well then no surprise it didn't work. Basically, all an m3u file does is list files for the player to load. If the file it lists doesn't exist, it gets skipped.
The build I posted simply changes the logic so that if the m3u file is on a microsd card, it will change the root folder on which is is hunting for the files on to be the microsd card ("\<microSD1>"), rather then the rockbox root folder ("\"). That way you can have playlists of the form:
\<microSD1>\folder\file.mp3
\folder\file.mp3
G:\folder\file.mp3
or relative paths like
../folder2/file.mp3
where before only the first and last would work on the sd card.

Okay, here is the latest. I took all music files, including playlists off the player. I then deleted all files under .rockbox, then replaced them with your build. I then copied 1 music file and 1 playlist file to the internal card and 1 music file and 1 playlist file to the external card. So, the directories on the internal card are:
.rockbox
Music
Playlists
clpza.bin
The directories on the external card are:
Music
Playlists
Each music folder contains a folder with the same name as the playlist, i.e., Best Of The Beatles.
The playlist file on the internal card looks like this: H:\Abba - Greatest Hits\Dancing Queen.mp3
The playlist file on the external card looks like this: I:\Beatles - Greatest Hits\Day Tripper.mp3
After all of the deleting and copying, I then unplugged the Clip, turned it off, then rebooted. I then go to "database" - it asks me if I want to initialize the db, I say "yes"...it finds a bunch of files. I go to either Playlist Catalog or the file menu - doesn't matter - each playlist will come up, show me the playlist itself; I then select the first file name and the screen flashes (I quickly see the {root} {root} message, then it goes back to the main menu. This is for the playlist on the internal card AND the external car.
At least now I'm at a point where I can troubleshoot a little easier and can clearly list what I have done.
BUT, it still doesn't play the playlists.

I don't know how the playlist catalog works. Instead of worrying about that right now, what happens if you just directly select a .m3u file from the SD card?

Because the playlists doesn't include the correct path. As saratoga mentioned, Rockbox tries to remove path components when trying to find a file in a playlist, but it will never add path components.
When playing, Rockbox will look for these files:
\Abba - Greatest Hits\Dancing Queen.mp3
\Dancing Queen.mp3
and
\Beatles - Greatest Hits\Day Tripper.mp3
\Day Tripper.mp3
Since the files are in a \Music folder on either card, Rockbox can't find them, even with saratoga's build.
For the playlist to work, it should look something like this for the internal "card" (the drive part is optional for Rockbox):
H:\Music\Abba - Greatest Hits\Dancing Queen.mp3
And like this for the external card:
I:\<MicroSD1>\Music\Beatles - Greatest Hits\Day Tripper.mp3

Actually, after I reinstalled Rockbox, I again tried synchronizing with Media Monkey, and, to my surprise, everything works fine. Happy camper now. ;D
