I haven't tried 'Copy to library' (I'm a scaredy-cat), so I don't know if it works or not.

Well, I wouldn't expect that behavior either.
Is there any chance that one library is in a subdirectory of the other?
Also, what version of calibre are you running? A lot of the pre-built releases are very old. You might be seeing bugs that have been long fixed. My understanding is that if you install calibre onto a USB drive and use the .bat file that changes the preferences location, then you end up with a portable version. Itimpi knows much more about this than I do, so I hope he will correct me if I am spreading lies.
