What does that sentence actually mean? Given you're using the 'Copy to library' tool it can't be referring to Virtual libraries? Whilst calibre can support multiple 'physical' libraries, it does not provide the means to arrange or present them as a hierarchy, which is how I interpret the phrase '
under my main library'.
What purpose do these 'sub' libraries serve?
If you've created something like the following, I suspect it could be contributing to your problems.
Code:
Main Library
│ metadata.db
│ metadata_db_prefs_backup.json
│
├───Author A
│ └───Book #1 (1)
│ │ cover.jpg
│ │ metadata.opf
│ │ Book #1 - Author A.epub
│ └───data
├───Sub Library #1
│ │ metadata.db
│ │ metadata_db_prefs_backup.json
│ │
│ └───Author B
│ └───Book #2 (1)
│ │ cover.jpg
│ │ metadata.opf
│ │ Book #2 - Author B.epub
│ └───data
└───Sub Library #2
│ metadata.db
│ metadata_db_prefs_backup.json
│
└───Author C
└───Book #3 (1)
│ cover.jpg
│ metadata.opf
│ Book #3 - Author C.epub
└───data

Added: I am not even sure that a tree of nested libraries would work, one thing's for sure - it would generate a lot of Check library errors and goodness knows what Restore database would do with it.
