When I return to Calibre it has usually processed a decent percentage of the books despite complaining.

If OTOH you are interested at an academic level, I'm happy to keep the thread going.
OK, thing you need to do is narrow down which other prog is "opening" the book files as Calibre is trying to deal with them - it won't be Calibre tripping itself up - it will be an extranal prog doing so.

Usual suspects - over zealous antivirus prog - disable it whilst doing intensive Calibre stuff
another is Dropbox - if you store book files in Dropbox - eg. to use Calibre2OPDS to access your files whilst out and about - then Dropbox will keep trying to resave the files as Calibre updates them and the two don't play happily together - again - disable / exit whilst using Calibre

Or... might be something else

Whats running on your system?
