Apparently a database problem but passes a Lr integrity test ok.
For example, when I import photos to "C:\users\Wes\Wes Photo Files\2013\Canada & USA",
Lightroom CREATES a 'phantom' folder 'C:\users\Wes\Wes Photo Files\Canada & USA' in the list of Folders and adds the photos to this non-existent Folder!

This has happened several times - on different Destination Folders.
If you respond to this problem, please note that I have done the following:
1. double-checked my Import settings - definitely correct and "Organise' is set to 'Into One Folder'.
2. run 'Integrity Test on the Catalog' both before opening Lr and when Backing Up before closing.
3. I have tried running 'Synchronize' folder but did not proceed as it wanted to Import 818 photos! (that's the file count in the real 'Canada & USA' folder).
4. When I try 'Show Parent Folder' a database error is reported!
5. if I try to Move the files from the phantom to the real folder, it reports 'File already exists at the destination'.
6. I restored an earlier backup copy of the lrcat file but the same problem occurs.
7. I ran chkdsk on C: - no errors, and ran a Registry Cleanup - problem exists.
8. As a work-around, I can Move files from the phantom to '2013 TEMP'and then Move again from '2013 TEMP' to the desired folder '2013 Canada & USA'.
ENVIRONMENT: Lr 5.0, Windows 7 64-bit, i5 4-core, 8GB ram.
