I seem to remember that --enable-local-write only works for local connections to the server. Remote connections will need to authenticate.

From the calibre documentation (bolding mine):


--enable-local-write, --disable-local-write

Allow un-authenticated local connections to make changes. Normally, if you do not turn on authentication, the server operates in read-only mode, so as to not allow anonymous users to make changes to your calibre libraries. This option allows anybody connecting from the same computer as the server is running on to make changes. This is useful if you want to run the server without authentication but still use calibredb to make changes to your calibre libraries. Note that turning on this option means any program running on the computer can make changes to your calibre libraries. By default, this option is disabled.
