Here's some ideas
First ensure you have a backup of your main library
If your
Test library is an one of your old ones, now empty and renamed, then I suggest removing it from Calibre and deleting it from your file system and then creating a fresh
Test library based on your existing library.
Otherwise, run Check Library on the Main Library - it has two phases, first it checks database integrity then it offers to check for inconsistencies between the database and book folders.
I've never had a database integrity check return error, but if I did then I would use the Restore database option. This recreates the database from the opf files in the book folders - that's why they're there.
I wouldn't have thought that database/folder integrity would cause this sort of error, but if there are any then its probably a good idea to resolve them.
If that doesn't fix it, then I'm guessing that 389 is a Calibre book_id.
I don't know if there's an 'official way' to determine what book 389 is, but I would use the SQLite Browser program to look at the books table in metadata.db.
Another way might be to use Spotlight to look for a folder with a 389 in its name
Then I'd copy book 389's folder to a safe place, then I'd remove it from Calibre. Then I'd try the library switch, if it works then I would add the book again from its safe place. Just add the format files and the cover, then update the metadata in the 'normal' way.
Otherwise I've run out of ideas.
If I was amalgamating libraries, I'd run Check Library and resolve any issues on each of them before doing the amalgamation.
I would also use the Library Duplicates feature of the Find Duplicates plugin to ensure that the 2nd-nth library I amalgamated did not have any duplicate books. If there were any I'd move them to another library called Duplicates that I would 'sort out' once I'd moved everything else.
