I keep my ebook library in Dropbox, and on one of my machines I have a launchd daemon that runs the calibre content server:

calibre-server --with-library=$HOME/Dropbox/ebooks

I can confirm that the server serves my library, but it does not appear to detect changes to the library that happen on another system; I mainly run Calibre on another machine and manipulate the library there, relying on Dropbox to sync it.

I can tell (using calibredb list) that my newly added books are just not appearing. I've killed and restarted the calibre server, reloaded the launchd daemon, really everything I can think of, and no good has come of it.

How can I make the content server pick up these changes?
