@mariaclaudia:
I think it is because some books with the corrupt author name were possibly left behind in the old library, and contaminated the newly recopied books.
Do this:
[1] Select all the 259 books (only).
[2] Click "E" for Bulk Edit Metadata
[3] Click the checkbox "Swap Author and Title", and save it. It will take a minute since Calibre will have to create new subdirectories for the new "authors" and the new "titles".
[4] Select all of the same 259 books (only).
[5] Click the checkbox "Swap Author and Title", and save it. Ditto about taking a minute for the same reason.
[6] If any are still wrong, you need to select all of the books for each author represented in the incorrect books, change their name from LN,FN to FN,LN, save, then change them back to LN,FN.
That will force Calibre to fix the corruption in the authors table.
The corruption was that instead of having a bar "|" for LN,FN in the author name column, they had a real comma ",". That should not happen except for suffixes, such as ", Jr.". Your books had no suffixes. There was truly a comma instead of a bar.
If you downloaded the new version of ABCH, and look at its Job Log, you will see something new: a corruption detection message. What does your ABCH Job Log say?
By the way, you should perform a Calibre Library Maintenance > Check Library to defragment your metadata.db when you have finally fixed the books.
