I set the environment variable as described and did a number of other things. I still get the same behaviour. After working on it off and on for a couple of days, I am abandoning the export/import project for calibre. The application and database work well on my laptop. Since I am the only one access the ebook PDFs, this should be fine.
By the way, things I tried? environment variable; disabling the firewall; logging out and doing everything in a clean admin account; downloading CleanMyMac and doing a full uninstall of calibre and all the supporting files throughout the system (calibre had no uninstaller as near as I can tell; a simple drag to trash earlier left items); a reinstall and start over after the usually clean and verify empty for the destination folder. All looked good, calibre quit after the import. Attempt to launch bounced a few times in the Dock, the splash screen displayed and it quietly quit... i.e., the same behaviour. I ran the debug command and it looked the same. I give up.
