cannot import exported calibre library

New computer. I exported my library to an external hard drive.
Now I cannot import the library to the new computer.

When I download a new version of calibre and run the dmg file, it apparently creates a folder--calibre--and puts some small file--metadata.db-- into that folder.

When I try to import my exported files, calibre says that I cannot import to a folder that is not empty: the "calibre" folder that it just created and put the "metadata.db" file into !!

Even if I delete that metadata.db file from the calibre folder, the calibre program insists that the folder is not empty !!

What to do ?
