"kicking" calibre to wake it up required?

Posted this to the Calibre Companion section but no bites. So thought I would try it here.

We have Calibre set up on a headless Mac mini in our house and have the content server and wireless device connections active. We access it from our iOS devices via calibre companion remotely as a wireless device with no problem but...

If the Mac mini has not been used for a while and we try to access the following happens:

Calibre companion searches for calibre, says it is synching but waiting on calibre...and just sits there waiting...and waiting.

It will not finish the synching until I access the Mac mini remotely to even just look at the lock screen. Then it proceeds and finishes up fine.

Any ideas why calibre companion isn't able to give it the final kick or why the wireless device connection requires some additional user action? The Mac mini is set not to sleep and the process does seem to find the server, it just can't get all the way through.
