0.9.4 uses hard links when changing title/author, for performance, apparently hard links dont work with whatever network filesystem you're using. Even worse, the windows CreateHardLink function appears to be failing silently. Sigh. I'll add an explicit check to ensure the hardlink was created for the next release, which should take care of the problem, but generally speaking, you should not put your calibre library on a network share, network filesystems are broken in lots of different ways.
