Those kinds say that the DB is NOW out of sync with the file system.
You renamed the Author or title, but there was something interfering with the transaction (copy and delete) . (cloud sync, user has file open, A/V scan...)

I'm not surprised some 'out of syncing' has happened. See, I buy mostly epubs and I don't download directly to Calibre. I download to my Books folder. Then from Calibre, I add them to my Calibre Library.
I edit the meta data to add the blurb because most times they don't get added with the book and also because I added a few custom columns like, Read -Yes/No, cost of book, word count, where purchased, etc. As well, if the title or author's first and last names are not separated by a space, I'll correct that. And, oh yes, I convert them to make sure -I the last while I got to thinking that step is probably unnecessary. That would create double files in the DB, wouldn't it?
Anyway, I then save them back to my Book folder, connect my reader and copy/move the files to my reader. That way all the metadata I added in Calibre show up for each book in my reader.
No cloud syncing, no AV -only GUFW, it won't mess with that stuff, would it now?
I'm not sure what you meant by copy and delete.

Looking closely at those errors may give you additional clues
Non-ASCII characters, Multi-OS use of the same Library (OS file name issues).

Non-ASCIIs -don't know how to check for those.
No. The library is used on only one operating system. I'm not dual booting -never did. Thing is though, this system was a Win 8.1, I replaced it with Linux.
Unless the fact that I copy/pasted my Calibre Library folder from a back up usb I made on Win to Linux and continued using it may be causing an issue now? But that would be the same for all the other files I carried over to Linux and they're okay.

Having the Library on Network drives can cause these issues (Or leaving the sync active when using Calibre)

Not using a network drive(s).
On the other hand, I wonder if the old version of Calibre [1.25] is causing some bother now that I'm thinking of all possibilities. It is still installed and uninstalling it will only uninstall the current version anyway so I left it since I hadn't uninstalled it before installing the newer version when I just started.
