This tends to mean that there is a permissions issue and for some reason Calibre is unable to write back to the Calibre configuration folder.

I have also unchecked the option to save a separate cover image -- and every time I fire it up, even though that option is unchecked, conversions produce separate cover images.
Not quite sure what you are getting at here?

I THINK you are referring to the settings for Saving to Disk? If so this applies to exporting files from Calibre and not to Calibre's internal storage of files.

Inside the calibre library folder you will get a cover.jpg file generated with each book which is standard calibre behavior as not all formats support storing covers inside the ebook file (see this sticky for more information). You should not really be accessing the folders inside the calibre library directly this should not matter - the expectation is that such folders should be accessed via the Calibre GUI.
