Soooo...I finally figured it out....

When a user of the GR sync plug-in gets the "Not Authorized" error notice, this doesn't mean you have not authorized the plugin, it means GR is pissed with your over use of the GR sync and they froze you out. There is no work around, no updating the plugin, no changing the JSON. There is only one way to fix it and it kind of goes against their rules, however, since the mistake was made unknowingly and without malice or intent and I wasn't really aware that I was being frozen out, and there is NO way I could continue without the plugin, I had to make a drastic change, and start over.

If you get this "Not Authorized" error notice, your screwed and mayyyybe it will work later, maybe you have been put in time out, but have the ability to wait it out, or they just restrict your access to shelves populated with a few books, but for the most part, kiss the access to your shelves through Calibre Goodbye. If any GR moderators or site managers see this, I apologize and promise to behave in a less greedy way in the future.

This might not be true for everyone, but I am pretty sure it is true for me, because an attempt to create a new profile and adding just the "read" books at once resulted in an immediate "not authorized" and no work around. Occasionally some times it would go through one random time, but then the choosing books to link would stop it from going further. Maybe other users are able to change calibre accounts, or update and it works for them, but nothing I did make it work for me. So...it a csv file from now on.
