That message means that there is no metadata.db file in the folder that you called your library.

To be a library folder, it must contain a metadata.db file and a folder for each set of authors. The authors folders will contain folders for each title. The title folders will contain books (.epub, .mobi, etc), possibly the cover file (cover.jpg), and possibly the metadata file (metadata.opf). There is exactly one metadata.db file in this entire folder hierarchy, the one at the top.

If your sugarsync folder doesn't look like this, then you need to look around until (I hope) you find one. Then point calibre at that.

Good luck!
