The problem occurred solely between my iMac where Calibre is installed and the Calibre library which I store in the cloud with a backup on an external hard drive on my desk. My reader was not plugged in. With v. 6, i couldn't access either one without getting that message. I had reinstalled the 7.2.1 version of DeDRM and wonder if this is the issue as I see further discussion about this from Kovid regarding system libcrypto and Apple. I nearly had heart failure when I saw the database corrupt messages. I have over 2100 books! The libraries are stored in the cloud and externally because I can't easily carry a 27" iMac out of the house in case of fire and would be heart broken to lose my books
As @theducks said, ".kobo" is a directory. And a Mac will treat this as a system directory will hide it by default. There are ways to show it, but, I don't use a Mac so I don't know them off the top of my head.

If you got the error you reported in your original post without the Kobo device plugged in, I have no idea how that happened. It should be impossible. That error is in the KobTouch driver. And it should only be executed when the device is connected. I have no idea how that error could be seen without the device being connected.

The statement that your library is stored in the cloud is always a problem. It is not a supported configuration and tends to break at some point.

If you are still getting errors, then you need to check what error you are seeing now and report that. If you are still seeing the error you reported now, you need to make sure the device is actually disconnected, and if it is disconnected, work out why the Mac is reporting that it is connected. But, if calibre is showing that error, it means that calibre has started and should be showing your library.
