What section of the error report are those errors appearing in

Might you have copied some files you saved somewhere into the library folder with a file manager - if you specify a library folder when you try to save to disk, you will get this error.

calibre, version 2.19.0
ERROR: Not allowed: You are trying to save files into the calibre library. This can cause corruption of your library. Save to disc is meant to export files from your calibre library elsewhere.
Or maybe you copied a metadata db file into a folder where you saved those files in hope it would become a valid library

I suggest you create a Test library, back it up and experiment with it, then you'll be able to recover the library to a known good state when something goes awry.
