Q: Bizarre corruption. Help!

A very strange problem has occurred with my Aperture library. Here's the scenario. I have two NAS drives. Drive A + Drive B.

 

Pictures in my Aperture library are stored on Drive A whilst Drive B is used for work purposes.

 

All of a sudden, Aperture has started to overwrite pictures in my library with photos contained in Drive B. How can this be possible?

 

The directory path of the rogue photos is indeed pointing to Drive B but as the only person that ever uses my Mac, I just don't understand how this could've happened.

 

I have very important life-changing moment photographs in my Aperture library such as the birth of my daughter which I do not want to lose. When Aperture is opened, the thumbnails are literally changing in front of me and being switched to photos from Drive B.

 

And regarding any correct thumbnails that remain, they too have a directory path painting to Drive B. It should be Drive A.  AAARGGH!!

 

My library has been in use for nearly 5 years and I've previously had no trouble at all.

 

I have tried restoring the library database from TM back-ups but the same thing keeps happening. Hope someone can help.

 

THANKS

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
