Also it might be helpful to know that calibre takes liberties with metadata in paths and filenames in the "internal" library. Authors and title may be truncated and letters substituted to make the filename and path valid.

The assumption behind calibre is that you will normally only use the GUI to access books. Then you may never see the actual filenames. But, as DoctorOhh said above, if you don't like that it is possible to write out a copy of the books with the correct names, customized just as you prefer it, by using the save to disk or send to device templates. Or at least within the limitations of the filesystem and operating system.
