You need to select the best source for the metadata if you want the automatic merge option to work well. If it fails, you can always use the manual merge option. Just merge the newer books into the older records.

I am not sure I understand you but there should be no problems with the import because the files were exported from Calibre on Saturday so they all should have matched perfectly. And after the import it said it merged them all, but none of them were linked into the new files although when I looked in the directory all the folders were created. Also, I am unsure what the correct settings should be, so maybe I did not have the settings setup correctly.
