These opf files do not need to be copied.
These are created automatically by calibre as a way of backing up your existing library's metadata.db file in the event of catastrophic loss or damage to the file. If the file is damaged there is a restore feature that utilizes these files to restore your metadata.db file.
Any new book you add will eventually (usually very quickly) have this file added to the directory.
