Your expectation is wrong, but you seem to correctly understand how it works. The "date" is not the PDF CreationDate, it's the date the record is created. The publication date can be set manually, or you can fetch metadata from the web to set it.

Secondly it save the metadata back to the file I tried Save to disk in a single directory.

Yes, that's what it's supposed to do.

But Calibre wrote a new renamed file (as the title changed)

This is also what it's supposed to do.

but I can't get the book record to link to the new file. Any suggestions?

It's not supposed to link to the new file. You don't normally need metadata updated in the file kept in the database, as it will update during a Convert, a Save or a Send. If you want it updated anyway, you need to convert to the same format.
