If you just did the first two steps you would be fine. The file would be updated and everything would work as expected. I essentially do this every time I edit a ePub with Sigil and save over an old version.

The last step, which was not needed and caused your problem, is what I described in post 6.

You can always (even now) add in the manner you were using except in your third step you were adding from the calibre directory to the calibre directory. There was no need for this step, so no one else had ever stumbled across this error. After the fix feel free to do step three, it still won't be a needed step, but it won't hurt anything because it will essentially be ignored.
