Exclamation Google Drive Incompatable with Calibre!

Hello readers!

Here is my configuration:
  • Master PC with Windows XP and Calibre Portable installed into Google Drive folder.
  • Slave PC with Windows Seven and Calibre Portable synchronised with master PC by Google Drive sync agent.

And here is the problem:

Whenever I add a book into Calibre, it creates a new directory into its library, with usual name pattern: "author/title (id)".
A few seconds latter, the same directory is created on the slave PC (this is the normal behaviour of Google Drive sync), but with the name altered: "author/title". The " (id)" suffix is missing...

Needless to say that Calibre can't find any book in the library (the real path doesn't match anymore the stored path).

There is no problem when I manually create a directory with the same pattern, for test purpose.

Has anyone ever encountered this problem?
