Sooooo, let me try and get this straight...

--enable-local-write allows me to send books to the calibre directory which calibredb then adds to the library (I need this for my automated book adding system to work)

--enable-auth allows me to edit content via the Web UI (I need this to convert books that aren't compatible with my kindle)

So if I understand it correctly these two functions are working in opposition to one another, with --enable-auth being the overriding function for security purposes. Therefore it isn't possible to have these two functions working alongside one another in a script.

Does that sound about right?

I guess my next question would be; Is there another way to achieve the same results from my headless Calibre server? ie the automated adding of books and the ability to edit/convert them from the web UI?
