From what the OP has in the first post, it sounds as if the calibre import/export library tool was used. From the sound of it, parts 25, 26 and 31 of the export file set are corrupted. I don't know if there is any tool that can recover whatever data is recoverable from those spanned archives.

When I did a test export/import, I got a popup asking where I should store each of the imported libraries. I had to create the base folder and the folders where the individual libaries would be stored before I could select them using the Select folder tool.
