Solved: fsck.vfat -a /dev/sdb1 resolved
I've been a-googling with little luck, so I figured I'd post here. No matter what I seem to do I can't get Calibre to get past the read-only error.

1) Calibre does mount the device as I believe it should, using umask 077 and suchlike... No dice even though it does mount to the proper location with said umask.

2) I ran fsck.vfat just in case there were errors on the FS (Saw a post saying that would fix it), no dice.

3) I've tried removing the calibre-mount-helper so that it can't mount things and then mounting the device myself, I get the same error even when mounted as below:

/dev/sdb1 on /media/Kindle Main Memory type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=000,uid=1000,gid=100 ,user=vry)

With the above I can manually move files to the device, but I get the same error from Calibre everytime.

Kinda at my wits end :'(

Code:

[Errno 30] Read-only file system: u'/media/Kindle Main Memory/metadata.calibre'

Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks in advance, I'd love to get this working
