Lightroom 5 isn't seeing my file structure. Please help!

i upgraded lightroom @ same time switched harddrives. basically, installed lr 5 on new harddrive. opened lr4 catalogue on lr5 , had "update" catalogue. seemed working properly. however, first time have imported memory card , having problems.

 

 

i imported , had files put pictures>client sessions>weddings (and wrote in subfolder name). shows in finder that photos are. however, in lightroom creating whole new section. reason isn't "linking" current file structure. see 2014 mclennan-reeser file. under "wedding" on finder.

 

 

see how is own separate thing on lightroom (even though if scroll down see wedding folder. have tried drag , drop "wedding" on lr... says exists of course does!  tried right click on 2014 mclennan , "show parent folder", creates new "wedding" folder in lr. why happening??? fixes?

 

two images below.

my first suspicion case-sensitivity issue, i.e. lightroom case-sensitive whereas os (usually) not....possibly changed when switched hard-drives. better understand what's going on, helpful if show full path of pictures/client sessions way root level in finder, i.e. show current real path is. in lightroom folders panel can hover cursor on "pictures" folder , full path lightroom thinks exists will displayed tool-tip, , if grab screeshot of display (but if can't grab screenshot can write down , post exact path, including upper/lower case letters).

 

then can compare 2 paths (the real , lightroom's imaginery) see if there's case difference somewhere. if there can fix issue simply.
