thanks - actually before i saw your post i looked at my manual. i had installed Kies previously but it didnt seem to work. infact for reasons unknown my sound stopped working completely, after some tinkering - i did a system restore that took me back pre- kies and the sound came back.
ok - so now i looked at the phone - about phone - usb settings, and the radio button kies was shown. i then moved that to mass storage (before your post above) and on explorer two new drive letters were created but when clicked they said "please insert a disk...".
i try different usb ports - i have 6 - all with the same result. i then change from mass storage device to "media player" selection on the phone settings.
i get "My Computer\GT-I9000" in explorer - with the card and phone and am able to drill down to the sub directories etc. But this doesnt appear in the list of folders in calibre.
i attach a word doc of the pc explorer screen to demonstrate.
i then do the preferences debug in calkibre and its as before:

obviously the problem seems to be the mass storage option not working properly. i dont know if thats a samsung problem or my pc. but it seems odd that the "media" option shows the phone and then you can go in and look at the sub directories.
i have checked and you can see the files on win explorer and they do open correctly - i have used the SD card files as an example to check.
as i said i dont think this is a calibre problem but i doubt whether my service provider will be able to shed any light on this - i had some problems with GPS and judging on their response to that, i think it would be optimistic to expect anything.
