Multiple programs updating the same SQLite database is a bad idea, but in this case calibre and calibre-server use different libraries and hence different databases.

Code:
% calibre --with-library /bulk/calibre/tmp &

Using library at /bulk/calibre/tmp
% calibre-server /bulk/calibre/bar
Another calibre program such as another instance of calibre-server or the main calibre program is running. Having multiple programs that can make changes to a calibre library running at the same time is not supported.
Exit 1
Is this intentional?
Did you read the full message? ONE Instance of ANY calibre.
It looks like you are trying to start 2 different sessions.
