I have tried to write a smartlist that will scan a folder of of audio files to determine if an individual file is in the correct file path.
The filepath is \\Storage\Music\m4a\Artist\Album\
I was hoping that using the variable [Album] in the "Filename path ---does not contain-- [Album] would only show me the entries where the the name of the album is "Sky" and the filename path is \\Storage\Music\m4a\Artist\Sea\ ?

the search language uses the square brackets as anchors, so "[Album]" actually means "match a string that starts and ends with "Album" - so it's matching the exact string "Album" instead of the [Album] field.
You want something like this - paste it in the "Import/Export" button of the playlist editor:
[=listContains([Filename (path)],[Album])]=0

Thank you Ever So Much !!
I must have spent a couple of hours looking through posts on the forum !!
I have obviously got confused by [Album] being a variable in the renaming function. Is there a post or an article that you can point me in to read more?

Smartlists are basically "search expressions", using the same syntax as the Search bar in MC. Here's the documentation:

As mentioned in that page, a Search query can include Expression Language code:
