The problem is EOS Utility and how it calls the monitored folder the "Destination Folder". It's actually the "Watched" folder that should go in the "Destination Folder" path. You set the folder that the images get saved into inside LR, not in EOS Utility. So to recap: EOS Utility calls the Monitored location folder the "Destination Folder" and to confuse matters LR calls the same Monitored location the "Watched Folder".

Tons of useful information. I keep getting an "Import Photos" pop-up from lightroom and it's getting very annoying. When I click cancel or close the pop-up box, it imports as normal. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I can send a screen shot if need be. Thanks! Great post! Tons of useful information.
