If Aerofs is overwriting your metadata.db then you might be in a world of hurt. I suggest that you run check library to be sure that books you have added are really in the db.
An easy test: start calibre, change the alignment for tags, and quit calibre. Look at the .json file to see if the alignment is changed. Note that a column is listed only if its alignment is not "left". If the alignment is "left" then start calibre. If it becomes "center" then something, such as a plugin, is changing it at startup.

Ok tried the "test" and your right I changed the alignment to left, quit calibre opened the .json did show "center alignment.
exited Aerofs, reopened calibre, changed the alignment again closed calibre, opened .json it showed nothing, no "center" So assumed it Aerofs overwriting the .json as you suggested.
Figured I would see if it was for sure by doing the "Test" agaiin.
Restarted Aerofs, Opened Calibre, verified in the Aerofs log that the .json files was updated. Tags still showed left alignment.. Hmm, closed calibre exited Aerofs opened the .json, still was left as "center was not there.
Opened Calibre yet again (without Aerofs) still left justified, started Aerofs, No matter which sequence I opened and closed both programs it stayed left justified!!
Not sure what fixed it or if it just temporary, but it is now left justified.
