I haven't checked the code yet and I am not good at python so someone else can verify if this is indeed the problem. Database name is mandatory, except when there is no database name in which case the Database name is a blank the same as the database name on the AZW file.

Thanks for this.
For the database name, the Calibre plugin pretty much just takes the first 32 bytes and converts them to a string (dropping 00 bytes). So for a free edition of Frankenstein which I downloaded from Amazon, I get "Frankenstein-ecraft_Shelley".
The plugin doesn't have any special code to deal with the database name being blank. Then again, if "blank" means encoded with "00" bytes, then it shouldn't need any.
If anyone has a specific mobi for which the plugin doesn't work, and if they can work out what's gone wrong with the XRay format, that would be great. Or if they could run mobi2mobi to get the headers from the mobi file, and post what's in the top of the generated XRay file, that might help too.
