Daz - I did suggest a possible way to do it

I think the MobiUnpack plug-in is a wrapper around a command line program, if you used the latter should make it simpler to write a script |
Did you try it
If it works on a single book then it should be possible to write a script to execute the mobiunpack and ebook-meta commands on each book in your library to extract the metadata out of the mobi files and write it into the calibre database. As I read the from-opf option you should be able to select the metadata items you want - ie you wouldn't select the author and title.
Sorry, I can't help with the scripting - that bit of my brain died years ago.
