I just wanted to provide an update on this issue. I don't believe it to be a problem with calibre, I think it's how the Mac mounts Windows (or Samba in my case) shares. Not sure why it's changing, but later on I realized that there was a #1 and a #2 mount point. When I get that message, if I just rebrowse to the directory then it seems to work. However it's a little misleading, because when I get that error message from calibre, it comes up with a dialog box to select the library, which is using the old path, and it appears to look fine (IE you can browse through the directories and stuff), I'm thinking it must be cached or something.

Anyways, by reselecting my server that has the share, and drill down to the library directory, then hit OK, then it seems to work.
