Thank you for the suggestions.

Progress at the moment is as follows: I was wrong in thinking that CC was failing when I asked it to change the default directory. It was working but just very very slow. It took about half an hour before the progress screen with the little Android moving books around came up.

There are about 3800 books at the moment in the directory it is moving and over 9000 in the directory it is moving to. Based on numbers in the directories, it seems to be processing about ten books per hour, which would mean the process would run for over two weeks.

Question: if I were to stop the process, copy everything manually to the target directory (which is the one Calibre seems to want to use) and then uninstall and reinstall CC and select that directory, would it pick up all those books and rebuild the database ? Or would I just be left with a mess ? Calibe would probably be ok I guess since it sees both directories, but what about CC ?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
