Best way scenario would be to make this happen automaticly but it would be enough if we could hit some button to refresh contents.
At the moment Calibre is single user and working from network drives is not officially supported. Trying to make changes on two different machines simultaneously will not work as while Calibre is running a lot of information in RAM, so the two instances would stamp on each other's changes.

I believe that Kovid is planning to solve this issue for Calibre v3.
