where are my pubs

Hi all...have used Calibre for YEARS..but have not come across this.
Trying to move books to my reader, and I'm getting this message "Could not convert books because it has no epub files. You've most likely moved the book files around outside Calibre.You need to find those files and re-add them to Calibre". I've NEVER seen this before and am confused.
I found my Calibre Library in Finder (I use a MacBook) and all my book files are in there. What am I doing wrong?

select a book in Calibre: tap "O"
(that will open the place where Calibre PUT the book. If you moved the book using the OS, then Calibre now has the wrong location. Never rename / move using the OS)
Do you see at least 3 files? (OPF, JPG, and a book format like EPUB)
The folder can have more: ONE file is allowed for each possible format
