When editing Metadata (specifically, changing the title) of a book, I get the error "Could not change the on disk location of this book. It it open in another program?"

Looking at previous posts, this is permissions related. The details of the error message specify that the "Access is denied" error is on the original folder for the specific book.

The part that baffles me is that the permissions for the entire folder are set correctly and the fact that the files are actually moved to the new folder and the old folder is eventually deleted.

I opened the folder where all of the old files are and watched it while editing metadata. What happens is as follows:

Edit Title
Click Next
Error pops up
Prior to clicking OK on error message, I can see that all files have moved to the new folder and the old folder is empty, but still there.
Click OK on error message
Click Next again
Old folder disappears and Calibre loads the next book in Metadata Editor

This is happening on all books I have tested.
