How do I fix this? If I tell calibre to Add books and point it to the existing directories, will it add the books it thinks are missing and ignore the others that it already knows about?
Rick - you need to read this, it has been in the FAQ since version 0.something ==>> https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq...rked-drive-nas.

You can find many threads where users have run into problems after years of storing libraries on network storage (NASes, servers, cloud spaces etc).

Put your library on a local drive, then make sure you have the Add Books preferences set to ignore duplicates, and test on a couple of books before letting it rip.
