No! and I don't think that will ever be supported.
A true Client-Server app is a tricky beast. Calibre does a sleight of hand for performance. It uses the filesystem to store the book rather than a BLOB in the DB. The DB stays way smaller (and faster). The issue is with any networked filesystem is it is difficult to keep the DB (with file pointers) in lock step with remote storage.
