Thanks for all the feedback.

I thought it said the calibre-server was being stopped before starting the MAC client. But on re-reading it would appear the OP leaves calibre-server running while updating the library from the MAC, then when the MAC is closed the server is stopped and started. My guess is that this sequence is used to minimise the server unavailability time.

First, I do make a lot of demands on the server. Simply a single user either accessing the server or using a single calibre Mac app on a single Mac. Not both simultaneously. No multiple Mac apps. Minimizing server availability is not a concern. Multiple Android devices do access the server simultaneously.
Yes, the calibre-server remains running, revisions are made to the library, and then the calibre-server is stopped and restarted.

Whether that is an issue depends on how the MAC is mounting the share from the server. It should be mounting it as a networked file system, not a native file system such as HFS+ or an EXT variant.

The calibre library is mounted as a volume on the Mac using SFTP.
So far, this simple approach seems to be working. I have revised and renamed titles without issue. Outside of case sensitivity, I don't know what else to look for, but will still keep an eye out for any glitches.
