Hey, I hope this is the correct place to post this.

Have:
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
Calibre 2.3

Issue:
I was cleaning up my files/library and now I'm trying to add books into Calibre from my computer files but I keep getting error messages. These are books that at one time existed in Calibre, and currently still exist on my nook. This is only happening with about 6 books, other books have added to Calibre just fine.

I have already repaired disk permissions, checked the sharing & permission settings on the file and directory it resides in, I am not using a networked drive/NAS, and I am the only user on my laptop.

I have even re-downloaded the book from a website and I get the same error message when I try to add it from my Downloads.

Error Message

ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>OSError</b>:[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Users/thebestdog/Documents/Books/My Library/Buroker, Lindsay/Blood and Betrayal (696)'

Also I am trying to load the book from a different location than what is being "denied." The book is really located at /Users/thebestdog/Documents/Calibre Library/Buroker, Lindsay/Blood and Betrayal (8)

(And yes, Calibre is pointed at a directory called "My Library" not "Calibre Library")

What am I missing?? I have googled the shit out of this and tried a lot of things other people did on here with no success.
