I use abcde in the same way. The first run reads from the CD and
generates a single flac file. The second run reads from the flac file
and generates ogg or mp3 files.

Each run calculates two disc ids, the Musicbrainz disc id and the CDDB
disc id. If everything works correctly then the disc ids of the two
runs should be the same.

Apparently the Musicbrainz lookup fails in the second run. This could
indicate that in the second run the Musicbrainz disc id is not
calculated correctly.

If you use the -k switch, the directory containing the wav files and
other files will not be deleted. You can find the disc ids in these
files, for example:

abcde.a309a30b/cddbdiscid
abcde.a309a30b/mbdiscid

Before the second run you have to remove or rename the wav output
directory.
