Thank you so much for the quick response.
I'll try what you recommend, but I have not moved the library. It is still in the place it was originally created.
When you say "Move your library using file system tools instead" ... instead of what? I mostly use bash (and very rarely nautilus) to move files. I'm not aware that any other tool, including Calibre, has moved the library or the metadata db.
OTOH, the filesystem itself is encrypted and has been re-mounted, so I imagine it is possible that the disk utility slipped a non-UTF8 character in somewhere, e.g. in the disk label used for auto-mounting.
