Recently I had this problem too. I now suspect it has to do with file locking, by SQLite via Samba. If I execute the following on my Samba server

sudo smbstatus | grep metadata.db

when I'm having the problem, even hours after the last Calibre process has exited on my Windows machine I see that my machine is holding an EXCLUSIVE+BATCH lock on Calibre's metadata.db file located on my Samba server machine. Still investigating why ...
