My guess as a programmer is that the metadata is accessed via books.db. So the problem is that I can't find any (local) books.db on the second computer. Copying the books.db to the proper location on the second computer doesn't do anything.
AFAIK books.db is not a calibre artefact. Does its schema resemble metadata.db, which is calibre's SQLite database. What are the file modification dates of the two .db files.
