Oh cool, this is actually a bug I reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/1240797

In any case, I have changed the code to not rely on the OS sending the
proper error code, it will now manually check if the directory is empty.
That should fix your problem.
It was fixed in calibre 1.7
