There's nothing to expand, network filesystems are all broken, they break various integrity guarantees that calibre makes use of for efficient file operations. So keeping the library on a network filesystem will eventually lead to data loss, because of bugs in the network filesystem drivers. Use the calibre content server if you want true networked access.

Networked filesystem basically work only if you restrict yourself to simple file copy operations and nothing else. calibre does much more than that.
