Presumably there is a .DS_Store file inside every subdirectory Calibre creates in its main directory, so what is this?

Calibre is simply telling you that it has found a file in its library area that is not referenced in the calibre database. Calibre is not aware of any files that the OS decides to automatically create. As such you want to ignore them. There is an option to add file types that Calibre should ignore when checking the library and you should add .DS_Store to this to reduce the number of warnings that a Calibre generates when checking the library.
