Installation in Linux Mint problem

Till one week ago I was a Calibre user in Windows 7. Last week I decided to install Linux Mint 13 Maya and I proceed to install Calibre using Software Manager. Noticing that it was an old version I installed Calibre 0.9.1 from the official page. As you can imagine at that moment I've got two different Calibre and both are fine. Trying to correct the situation I didn't like at all I remove both and made a new installation of last version (0.9.1). Well, now my big problem:
- Calibre install without any error
- When I run it in Terminal Mode it shows in a small window and in Terminal I get the following message - "Error: Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading."
I hope you can understand my problem - English is not my native language - and please help me so I can go on using Calibre.
Thanks in advance.

In another thread Kovid indicated that the error message means that you have an invalid tweak somewhere. However as I also got it on a new installation I am not convinced as at that point I should not have any tweaks set! I have just been ignoring it and it does not seem to cause a problem.

Maybe simply opening and Saving the Preference: Tweaks: will fix the file.

(You might need to change a value for a moment to get it to trip the 'changed' flag)

Thank you for your help.
The problem was in a bad mounted ntfs partition. Now everything is OK.

I have the same error, but does not seem to cause any problem.

And I dont have any NTFS partition.
