I could not reproduce your problem. As far as I can see there as no obvious errors with the rights.
What you can try:
1 - (only to test) give the calibre-library on the mounted disk all rights (chmod 777)
2 - what does you config_local.php look like?
3 - if you make a symlink from the mounted directory to somewhere inside the COPS directory. Does that work?

I had high hopes for the symlink but unfortunately it has the same result. I created a soft link named calibre in the /home directory, and ls /home/calibre/ correctly lists the library directory including metadata.db, but I get the same checkconfig error. Changing permissions to 777 also had the same result.
Many thanks for all your help, but I've decided to stop wasting everybody's time and live with having the calibre library on my system disk and not the external usb hard drive. Maybe I'll take another look when the system disk starts running out of space!
