Same under Extra Titles - any easy way to find each one it's complaining about so I can add the file to the library?
2) How did this happen - when I add books one by one, it adds them to the Calibre library; how is it possible that they are in the library folder but not in the database?
3) What's the best way to fix this - for subfolders of books that exist in the library folder (with ebook, covers, etc.) but not in the database, how to add them to the database most easily - any way to import them without having to re-add everything by hand?

I believe the simplest (most automatic) is to:
Create/Switch A (new) empty library (in a new location), tick use existing
structure
Switch back to the OLD library
Select all: Right-click: Copy to Library <new library> Delete after copy
What is leftover are your problem kids

You should be able to add thos in the traditional 'add book' manner
