And that is what was expected from comments made earlier. This was a

I'd also like to mention something else that I have observed all along and still do. When I run Check Library it states:

Because you are connecting to your library as a device, that is expected. Calibre creates those files to help track what is on the device. But, when it is treating the directory as a library, these files are not expected.
Not connecting to your library as a device should solve some of your problems. I'm not sure if it solves your original save-to-disk problem. You will probably need to try that again.
