On a folder of epubs, I had:
- used ebook-meta to extract author, title & isbn
- used fetch-ebook-metadata to generate the most complete metadata.opf i could
- used ebook-meta again to read the new metadata back into the epub file

Now when I use calibredb to add the epubs, they are all filed in <library-root>/Unknown/, and the metadata displayed in the UI is wrong.

The output from ebook-meta f00.epub looks OK. If i append --to-opf=metadata.opf to that command & cat the opf file, I see "opf:file-as="Unknown"" in the output.

How do I get back to a state where books are added conventionally as <library-root>/Author/Title?
