All of a sudden when trying to open one of my FCPX libraries, I get an error message saying file “__BackupInfo.plist” couldn’t be opened. I have no idea why this is happening. I haven't even opened that library in a while.

What happens after you get that message? Where is the library stored? Do you know where the backups are stored, in the default location? Start by resetting preferences holding Opt-Cid as you launch the application.
