You're using appendices in the wrong way, and this is causing you problems, hence the need for all your addcontentsline faff. When you've finished your normal chapters, put the appendix command. Then carry on making more chapters and sections as before. Chapters in the appendix will be labelled as A, B, etc, and the sections will be labelled A.1, A.2, B.1 and so on.
