THIS seems wrong - the added character is a "2" not a "0".
I looked at the "original" Allmine thread and it seemed to recommend insertion of a "0" after the eighth character (where a "2" has been inserted by the Golden Allmine update).

That is not wrong. I think that when ktwombley made the original Allmine release, nobody had realized about the non-hex characters in some serial numbers. Once that came to light, I changed the serial number modification to ensure all digits are hex, maintaining their uniqueness. That's why you have a "2" there, instead of a "0".
Your problem is still that your backup has the wrong serial number. Can you unzip it by hand? If so, you should recover all the files, possibly read the library but not add files to it. Then you could use the same hack in the Allmine thread to fix the library.
But I do agree that backing up before the Golden Allmine won't work, I will add a note to the instruction files.
Happy holidays!
