Hi,
Thanks for the tips. I will pause the syncing and update the files again to see if the metadata updates.
Normally, I do check to make sure Dropbox is done with syncing before I update Calibre, however lately it hasn't made a difference. I will try your suggestion.

Additionally I have found before I do any mass conversions or update my calibre portable (which I run out of Dropbox) the need to pause syncing of Dropbox. You apparently have found another type of situation in which you should pause syncing. If you are doing things one at a time and happen to get a similar error simply do it again. When I update metadata or convert files one at a time I never pause syncing. On the rare occasion I run into a hiccup I simply do the operation again.
Keep the above in mind and you should be fine. BTW don't forget to resume syncing when you move beyond the situations we talked about.
