I have had my library on the external drive for quite a bit of time and had not had this issue in the past. The issue is intermittent, and eventually after 2 or 3 repetitive tries it is able to accept my change (move/rename the book files) without me having to exit Calibre or reboot.
I did receive a driver upgrade for USB 3.0 recently, so perhaps that is interfering with the Microsoft file locking detection at times.
I am also removing my Calibre dirs from the Win 7 file Indexing to see if this is the issue. Perhaps some Windows update has affected the Indexing and locking on external drives (in the past Windows has assumed C and D to be physical drives and E or higher to be network drives which require a higher level of security/monitoring, and my external drive maps to E). I'll post the results once Windows finished the file Index rebuild.
Thanks again.

Also Exclude your Library folder from
Real time Antivirus scans.
Windows users can lock in a drive letter (Mine is L:
) Using the Disk Manage (run: diskmgmt.msc) so it always keeps the same letter (suggest using letters in the range that will never get used with a New disk device)
