Is there any way to tell Calibre to do its import in the background so this all happens silently?

At the command line, add a space and an ampersand at the end of the shell script name, then hit enter. This will cause it to run in background. You may also have to enter the command "bg". This works in most *nixes, but I haven't actually tried it in OSX, a Unix derivative.
