Interestingly, multiple invocations of the calibredb command in a single FOR loop worked fine. I just couldn't get any subsequent lines or calls to batch subroutines or external batch files to work.

Anyway, thanks again. If I do this again, I'll try powershell.
Calibre does works Dual Boot (XP <->Ubuntu Karmic) with the same XP folder used for the library.

The Gotcha
is folder names are CASE sensitive in Linux and correcting a title case in Windows Calibre does NOT change the original (named) folder's case (since it matters naught to M$),but does matter to Calibre.
Running the DB Integrity tool showed many errors. Looking in the file manager had me until I thought of Case
I fixed the folder names externaly and Calibre was happy.
I believe the "Use Lower case for folder names" might keep this from happening ON NEW ENTRIES.
