Someone populated a Calibre library for me. She did it on a Windows XP system, and gave me all the files in a folder. There are a bunch of folders plus the metadata.db file. I tried copying it into an empty library folder for Calibre on my Mac (OS X 10.6.8) but when it starts, Calibre tells me the library is corrupted and is unable to recover all the books. What is the appropriate way to export/import all the data?

thank you!!
