I rebooted my laptop to clear any possible locks. The only application I have accessing my library directory is Calibre.
This does not happen every time, only about half the time and eventually my title or author change will be accepted. It has been several months since I have done any title/author changes (or changes which would affect the stored dirs/files), so this may have been occurring before 0.9.24.
Solution::
Remove Library from Windows Indexing. Delete and rebuild index.
Doing this resolved the issue in my setup. If this does not resolve your issue, please see below for additional suggestions from other members of the Calibre community.
Thanks to all for your help in figuring out this issue.
