Because you mucked about under Calibre's skirts. Ebook-convert does just that: it converts an ebook file from one ebook format to another. It does
not update Calibre's database (metadata.db)
i.e. Calibre has no idea the MOBI files exist, even though they are physically there.
If you run 'Check database' and have it compare the database with the files on disk, it will show the MOBI files as extra files. I'm not sure you then get the option to 'adopt' them, as it were; I don't think so, actually. You do get the option to delete them, that I know.
If you want to do this, do the conversion from the GUI.
edit: Or start messing about with the other command line tools, as you yourself suggest :-)
