Understood... as an alternative, maybe an option to rename all the offending directories to a new subdirectory outside of the library; I could then import the books from normally. I've pretty much been doing that by hand anyway.
The other suggestion here was to essentially rebuild the library from scratch. That's not really a good option, as the library is in good shape, and these broken/missing books make up less than 10% of a very large library, and even less now that I've been chiseling away at it slowly.

The bigger question: What are you doing to orphan those books? Calibre has a pretty robust transaction process.

Hard drive failure including silent data corruption, restoration from multiple backups to try to go back before the corruption started without losing items that were added later and were not corrupted. Ya, I'd like to stop that too, but as far as I can tell, I haven't lost any real data.
