I've been adding handfuls of books a day (weeding out ones I don't really need on the device all the time), and so far the problem hasn't come back.

I'm wondering if it is just dumping a huge number of books on it all at once that makes sync fail, or if there's one specific book (which I haven't hit yet) that causes it, or if it is the number of books that causes it.

In this message @davidfor suggested mixed case in shelf names causes it, but his solution didn't completely work for me, but I haven't been able to verify why.
It's worth a try, I admit, the most recent time I synced with Calibre, I did only a couple at a time & the sync worked. So I thought 'Great, I'll load 'em all back on then'. Then the sync didn't work.

I did try @davidfor's solution, and it did turn out that I had #myshelves on my main PC calibre & #MyShelves on my portable calibre on the old laptop, so I was hopeful it might work, but no joy.

I think after my Clara is done repairing its account (it's been doing it for 3+ hours :-( & it still doesn't work, I'll try the Manual re-set again & load the books on a bit at a time see if it makes a difference.

Thank goodness. 4 posts in & you guys are already coming up with things I hadn't thought about. Thank goodness for mobileread :-)
