I don't know if this can be changed, but I run my Library in Dropbox and I'm using Dropbox version 0.8.103 which is a beta build. Dropbox now will sync the Metadata.db file every time it is updated, even in its locked open state. If I were to use their current stable release 0.7.11 then I would have to leave my machine on after I quit calibre for the file to be unlocked and synced to my internet storage.

This doesn't help you with your problem, but I wonder if there is a setting or patch that will allow your HP MediaSmart Homeserver to do the same?
