Yes the problem will be solved when the multiuser calibre is ready!
You do not have to solve the network file access problem, it will just not be needed anymore. I can imagine that Kovid wants to avoid network file access competely and use a database driven approach. So all data is going over the network using database requests, the client connects to the database on the server transparantly, only the calibre server manipulates the files, locally, on the server. You could even connect over the internet this way and add and manipulate books and metadata.
So until there is a multiuser networked calibre, my single user library-on-network-share issue is still relevant
