So I copied* all the books out of one of the "invisible" drives and moved it to my external, and then switched the library's location in Calibre to my external and that seemed to do the trick. The "invisible" drives also seemed to disappear once I threw out the files. So weird. But at least it worked?

*Since these all should be the exact same external, it was weird that dragging files from the invisible "External 2" to my visible, actual external drive resulted in copying the files... it's like there really were two extra drives created. Maybe I somehow partitioned the drive by accident? I have no idea. But my library's back where I want it. If anyone knows what I did to cause this, please enlighten me! I think it was something to do with Time Machine.
