I was able to fix this problem. The Auto Add not working on local folders was solved by doing a chmod 777 on all files in the auto add directory.

I am now doing a cron scheduled rsync with a mounted remote folder that exists on my NAS to a local folder on Ubuntu that Calibre scans. I also have the NAS folder linked to a dropbox folder, so I can add books to my Calibre library from anywhere I have access to my Dropbox.

If anyone is curious how I did this:

I linked a folder on my Dropbox to a folder on my NAS using mklink in the Windows 7 command line.

I then mounted that NAS folder on ubuntu by modifying /etc/fstab

I then setup a 1 minute cron job to rsync the mounted folder with a local folder, using the --remove-from-source option so files aren't re-synced

For this to work, I also added a 1 minute cron job to chmod 777 all files in the local folder

Calibre is set to auto add from that local folder

Hope that helps anyone out there trying a similar setup as mine.
