I'm pretty sure I mentioned it a couple of times. I use Syncthing. I have a local folder, it's sync'd to another computer. The second computer sees it as a local folder as well. It's not a cloud thing. It's all local. I know it's not recommended by Calibre and I respect that. I'm willing to take the risk. My guess is that since the path is somewhat different on the two computers and maybe also the fact that it IS a different computer with a different name/GUID etc, it is resulting in the "sync conflict" log files I'm seeing. For the short term, this is working for me. For the long term, I'll likely look into just remoting to one of the computers to use Calibre instead of using Syncthing. I already have NoMachine set up and it works great so I'll likely just switch to that method at some point.
Thanks again!
