Can you start again from the beginning? Create a new, empty library, and this time when you add books use the "One book per directory" option. Since you are adding them from a Calibre library, that should mean that the opf ad the book file get handled as one.
Of coyurse, if you DO have duplicate books, you will need the Find Duplicates plugin as BetterRed says.
The other thing you can do is go in Preferences, Adding Books, and set Automerge when adding duplicate books. This will only help when the book details (title and author) look IDENTICAL.
Hope this helps,

Lizj1 - did you look into the link posted by eschwartz in post #2. It references a recently added feature that migrates the libraries and the configuration data to a new machine at one fell swoop. It doesn't go through the rigmarole of adding the books again, not that that was entirely necessary anyway.
