I suspect the key lines are:

calibre_plugins.dedrm.DeDRMError: DeDRM v7.2.1: Couldn't decrypt after 0.5 seconds. DRM free perhaps?
DeDRM v7.2.1: Trying to decrypt hfrx0vau.epub
DeDRM v7.2.1: Verifying zip archive integrity
DeDRM v7.2.1: “hfrx0vau.epub” is neither an Adobe Adept nor a Barnes & Noble encrypted ePub
If the epub is indeed DRM free, I would suggest opening it in calibre's editor and running, preferably, epubcheck (you will need to install the plugin) or the builtin error checker.

If the epub is not DRM free, it may encrypted with Adobe's hardened DRM.

Just to check, you might want to install NoDRM's updated version of the DeDRM plugin. See the New version of DRM removal tools ("DeDRM") thread in the News forum. The download link should be in the first message in the thread.
Hmm.. weird. Some of them are Kobo books, others are Amazon, none of them had DRM, or if they did, were already removed. The weird thing is that this is happening to books I never had an issue with before. One book I tested earlier, it had been added to my Kobo last year after converting to kepub. Then today I went to put it on another Kobo, and it failed to convert to kepub and wouldn't convert to anything else. The error said it was a read only file. I have over 5000 files in my Calibre, and it seems like this issue is spreading through them.


Also, I installed that version of DeDRM and the issue is still happening.
