But I am wanting to make sure that I have the correct metadata inserted in all books when I convert them to mobipocket format including a cover.
Im hoping someone makes a program that I can do all this in one run.

I'm not sure what you're asking for. Mobipocket Creator can be used to insert the proper metadata, and define a cover image to be used. The results are stored in an OPF file that defines the book.
Mobi can also import from HTML, Word documents, PDFs, and plain text files. The output of the conversion is HTML, and you can edit the HTML before building the Mobi book files to tweak things.
Conversion from other formats requires seperate tools, like Convert LIT.
I'm not aware of any tool that does all of it within one program.
If you want to do batch conversions, Mobi offers a command line version called Mobigen which takes an OPF, HTM, HTML or epub file as input, and it wouldn't be too hard to produce a batch file to handle more than one book in a run.
