Again, do not put your calibre library on a network drive. File locking is just one problem, others include data integrity across operating systems and most importantly, the fact that various filesystem APIs are BROKEN on network file systems, and when I say BROKEN I mean BROKEN, as in they LIE about what they do.
That FAQ entry gives you THREE options for how to make your library multi-user. Just in case you missed them:
1) Use the content server
2) Use a remote desktop
3) Use a file sync tool, being careful not to run it at the same time as calibre
