Then again strange things happen when running over network/samba. Being curious, I've notice in 3.0 locks up when deleting a book over samba but worked fine under 2.0. Since this scenario is not supported or recommended... be aware of the risks.

Oops, I knew about that issue, but I didn't realize that I wasn't using the correct location for metadata.db until I tried to copy the library over to a local drive for testing in response to BetterRed's comment, and realized that something was off. So switching to the correct location of metadata.db fixed the problem. Sigh. So easy to make dumb mistakes in this world.
Re that network FAQ comment, I guess I like living dangerously, but using a Synlogoy NAS isn't really dangerous, past experience has shown. Didn't have any problems with Calibre before, but we'll see if version 3 causes trouble as uli has had.
Thanks all for suggestions. I needed both of your comments to happen upon the source of the problem.
