I just added two books, converted them to EPUB and edited metadata, while on the other PC Calibre was open (and in server-mode). Database functions perfectly. The only thing is that it didn't refresh and there wasn't a possibility to force a refresh. After restart it did show the added books ok. Then, I think in the helpfile topic "CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH" it says this is usefull when the external drive doesn't support locking, meaning that multiuser use is possible. Maybe @kovidgoyal could shed some more light on the matter
