Automatic Convert and Automatic Add not working together

I'm using Calibre version 0.8.63 on a PC. I am using the option to auto-add from a folder as well as the option to auto-convert to mobi. Whenever I put books that are already in mobi format into the folder that I have selected to auto-add from, the mobi books do not get added to the Calibre library. They just stay in the folder. Other formats add properly from the folder and then convert automatically with no problems. I've tried searching the forums and the manual and wasn't able to find anything. Is anyone else having this problem? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.

Did you tick the "check for duplicates" box in the Adding Books: Auto Add configuration?
When ticked, it is supposed to Ask you what to do (I assume the default is Ignore duplicates).

I've tried it both ways. It doesn't make a difference. If the file is already in the format it's supposed to auto-convert to, it doesn't add the file. Thanks for the suggestion.

Works for me, I tried:

1) Set output format to MOBI
2) Tick the auto convert checkbox
3) Copy a mobi file to the auto add directory
4) The file was added

Run calibre in debug mode (right click the rpeferences button) and you might get some useful output.
