I can see what went wrong, but I can't tell you why.
When FFF attempted to set the Author field, Calibre ran into an issue with Windows denying write access to the story dir in the library:
Code:

This isn't something FFF is doing (I tested that story in Cal 3.48 myself), but is probably something with your system: an anti-virus issue, file system permissions, possibly library corruption.
A very common problem (I don't know if this error matches exactly) is trying to put your library in network/cloud storage. That is
not supported by Calibre.
Googling that error and Calibre finds some additional older threads.
Using Win7, you may have trouble find anyone that can help you more specifically--it's very unsupported by now.
