Taking the pacmanfm file path from the display and pasting it into Calibre 'Choose location for library' popup gets the 'Directory not found' error. Doesn't look like RPi as the manager for the library is a goer. TrueNAS is built on FreeBSD, so that's not going anywhere with Calibre. Mayhap a Windows VM running on the TrueNAS....
Thanks for your help, I'll give this one up.

You need to mount the share then calibre should be able to access it--at least that worked with my setup just now.
Take a look at this
thread the Calibre-Portable.sh:

Shell script File to start a Calibre configuration on Linux
# giving explicit control of the location of:
# - Calibre Program Files
# - Calibre Library Files
# - Calibre Config Files
# - Calibre Metadata database
# - Calibre Source files
# - Calibre Temp Files
# By setting the paths correctly it can be used to run:
# - A "portable calibre" off a USB stick.
# - A network installation with local metadata database
# (for performance) and books stored on a network share
# - A local installation using customised settings

You can find the file in /opt/calibre/resources
YMMV
Good luck
