When you rename in Calibre, it does NOT do a Move with rename. I Copies the book with its new name, then deletes the old. Slower, but safer.

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.
A Paste (overwrite) would mess things up, like those extra files. A Total Replace is the way to go

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.
Calibre has not made a structural change in a long time. So 1.x to 2.x should not be an issue
