(but not at the same time)

Having trouble opening Calibre library in Mac.

My Calibre library was created under Vista and successive updates to Calibre 0.8.10 have been no problem. I've recently found that I'm using a Mac (OS X 10.6.8) more often at home (Windows Vista is still my 'default' option) so I would like to be able to access the library when I'm using my Mac.

The library is stored on a Windows Home Server, and the library folder is easily accessed through Mac Finder. I installed Calibre 0.8.10 on the Mac and it runs fine. Then I chose "Switch/Create Library" to access the existing library on the server and received the following error:

Code:

calibre, version 0.8.10

	OperationalError: disk I/O error

In the dialogue to select the library, I navigate to "/Volumes/Users-1/calibre".

Finder info for the library folder is:

Where: /Volumes/Users-1/calibre
Server: smb://hpserver/Users/calibre

It would seem to be a "disk I/O error".
When I go back to Vista, there's no problem.

Any suggestions for tweaks to allow access from Vista and Mac?

Thanks!
