That's an issue with the new Marking features in Calibre. From #833:

This was previously reported in mobileread. It was determined to be a corner case issue with recent changes to Calibre 'Mark' feature.

I haven't heard since anything since. To the best of my knowledge, it's not something I can fix in FFF and I can't reproduce it.

You may need to turn off the 'Mark' and 'Show Marked' features in FFF in the meantime.

I'll leave this issue open for the time being.

Then I try again, same message as the first but now it contains the regular metadata and epub.
Doesn't matter which story it happens to all the stories accumulated into one action.

I have no idea what that is--never heard of 'Snow Scraper' before. Sounds more like a Calibre issue than an FFF issue. Possibly something in an unexpected state due to the problem above??
