I would suggest you do the following. Move the old library back to the old location with the metadata.db file. then in a terminal run

calibredb export --all --to-dir /some/empty/directory

Then delete your old library. Start with a new library and click the arrow next to the add books button, use add books from sub-directories (one per folder) and calibre should recreate your old library with no loss of information
