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.

777 is a clear sledge hammer approach: 771 won't work?
Who is the owner of the files, maybe a chown is needed on the files
