I'm not sure how calibre handles watched directories tho. Not sure things would get automatically updated if the OCD library were changed. Added to, sure but not sure how it would handle updates.
Having two instances of Calibre with the same library open is an interesting experience. Modifying the contents of a calibre library outside of calibre is also an interesting experience. Nothing like an inconsistent database to make your day.

My workaround is to have calibre libraries and exported calibre libraries. I use the exported libraries for backup and my other nefarious purposes and simply treat the original calibre libraries as a black box with a big "DO NOT TOUCH!" sign.
