Oh thanks, nice hint.
Did some testing earlier today (with static nfs mounts). Seems that calibre isn't using the users umask (at least when set in ~/.bashrc).
I set one user to umask 0002 (which generates files with perm 775, but when starting calibre, the metadata.db and the book dirs are generated with 755.
The idea was setting up another user and give the second one write access trough the set umask.

So I still need to have a "close script" for calibre to set the permitions via chmod to 775.
Or is there a more elegant way?
