No, I didn't touch anything in the Calibre directory. Calibre doesn't recognize when my WinMobile device is plugged in (even though Windows does and I could save files there via Windows) so I had to do a copy of the Calibre directory to my device to move my books there. When I opened the library with Mobipocket mobile to read my books I noticed there were duplicates and then found the duplicate directories on my hard drive. I had multiple sub-directories for the same book just with a different number in parentheses at the end of the directory name.

I imported a the whole directory back in to Calibre and deleted the duplicates. Some I had to manually delete via Windows. My hard disk is now cleaned up but I continue to have issues with the wrong cover appearing in the detail view. The metedata view is correct and the jpg file in the directory is correct. So this is Calibre mis-reading data from metadata.db file, which I assure you I've never touched.
