Hermann:
No, it is not a Calibre bug. Calibre uses Qt for the GUI etc. It also uses the Qt "QFileSystemWatcher" object to monitor changes to the auto-add directory that you specified. At Calibre startup, the auto-add always does its job. However, after Calibre has been running for a while, the watcher object sometimes does not emit a signal telling Calibre that it needs to perform an auto-add, especially if only a single book is placed into the auto-add directory. If you place a few books into your auto-add directory, it usually is sufficient to provoke a response from the watcher.
If you always are moving a single book into that directory, and continue to have this problem, as a workaround you could change your script to always copy a few "dummy" files (not ebooks) along with your "real" books, and then have it later delete your "dummy" files from the auto-add directory. That should tickle the watcher enough to provoke it.
