You must specify a record id as the first argument
I also tried to add the path to the metadata file

Code:
root@1dce1a6e8ae1:/# calibredb --with-library=/books/ set_metadata 5032 --field authors "J. D. Robb" /books/J.D.\ Robb/Connections\ in\ Death\ \(5032\)/metadata.opf
The OPF file /J. D. Robb does not exist
