I've since updated to the latest Calibre version (8.60), ensured my plugin was updated, and still get the same error. I've changed metadata options (source, fields, etc), and nothing has made a difference. It doesn't matter if my source file is a Mobi, ePub, with ISBN, title/author only.

I'm using Calibre-Portable, on a WinXP unit.

Anyone have any ideas?
Have you tried a different title?
