Altough I dont quite understand why you want to do this whole rigamarole? Why not just add books directly through the server's web interface?
The webUI only allows me to add books locally, however the books are on the same server as Calibre.

Besides, I want to try and make this as automated as possible, the target being a system of synchronised folders on any device where I can drop books for any of the various libraries I have (multiple family members)

There is one thing I'm still confused about. Is there a way to get the --with-library command on calibredb add to access local drives? It only seems to work for me using the full server address.
