But now I have two copies of the book in the database; the original epub and the converted mobi. How do I prevent Calibre from saving newly converted files to the database?
I would rather have just the one original file in the database and autoconvert it every time I use it.

Are disk drives that expensive where you live?
Are you willing to wait hours while the really odd/difficult convert ?
You might want to revisit your thinking.
If Calibre needed to Auto-convert... You have a need (and device) for that format. Why burn power (conversion is CPU intensive) over and over for the same book.
