Hi westlyn, I hope you are still reading this. I have a similar problem, I have some doc and docx files but some of the doc files are actually RTF files with incorrect extension.
As an update to your intial post, there IS a plugin that is able to automatically convert DOC to DOCX available in calibre, using wordconv.exe (installed with the "Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack" avialble from Microsoft).
But that plugin fails when trying to convert RTF with doc extension because, of course, it "thinks" the RTF is a DOC file.
I was wondering what tool / utility you have used to "scan .doc files, identify the rtfs and rename the file with the correct rtf extension" - could you please let me (us) know? I couldn't find it using google.
Thank you.
