Hi, I have a problem going on that I don't know how to fix now. Something happened that caused my user entries in the user file to get merged with one another. I tried to fix that by shutting down eggdrop and attempting to re-add where the user entries are missing. But now I am seeing this happening.

By what method did you attempt to re-add? If you tried editing the user file manually, using nano or some editor, - it is easy to introduce problems.

If it were me, I would start over, like this:
Be sure the bot is not running.
Rename the current .user file.
Start the bot with -m switch. i.e. : ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf
Say Hello to bot.
Set my password.
Log into bot.

Attempt to read the old .user file, using less filename.user
If I could garner any info from it, with which to re-add any users, I would only use partyline commands, for example:
.+user
.+host

In other words, from now on, I would only edit the .user file by using the built in partyline commands.

I hope this helps.

Well, I'll probably need a new way to blacklist, since a lot of the entries are blacklist entries in the userfile that I had with many hosts listed. I can copy the entries out of my userfile before I do anything else and put them in a text file, meaning I have to remove the --host from each and every one of them to use with a script that can check entries against the notecard, by which I would then need a custom script done.

If you get them all entered again in a new .user file, be sure to make a back up copy of that .user file.

As for needing a separate list file - why? Just do what you did... enter them in the .user file, but don't monkey around with the .user file with any other editor... just use the bot's built in editing functions from now on.
Why not? It's easy.
