As long as I'm sure that I never run Calibre in both places at the same time, will this be OK? If Calibre libraries treat all paths as relative to the library path, I think this will work fine. If it actually stores absolute paths, then it wont.

Thanks!

Read the FAQ about NAS and non-local disks.
You might get away with it...then one day you don't.
Calibre doe a series of transactions when you add a book. They need to happen in order.
Think about when you do something that affects a bunch of books (like author name change).
