Then, I moved some Goodreads shelves around, renamed some other shelves, and THEN moved a subset of the big pile of unread books, so that now my Want To Read shelf on Goodreads actually contains books I already own instead of books I might be tempted to buy.

It's a start.
Oooh, I still have occasional flashbacks of doing an Ent-corpse inventory back in August 2011 to get my physical tomes into Goodreads. Ebooks were generally a lot smoother, as I was able to tackle those in real-time as they came along, but I still run into the occasional old purchase that I didn't properly log as owned.

One thing I've done, which I mention in case you want to copy, is to create a non-exclusive "borrowed/do not own" shelf in GR. This is not only useful for library reads, but for sweepstakes which place the book on your Want to Read shelf when you enter. Tagging them into this shelf makes removing them considerably easier once the drawing takes place.
