Calibre uses SQLlite as its DBM. That is not multi-user
Calibre also is a Hybrid of SQL and the file system. That is part of the issue. Keeping those in lock step on a network.

Why not designate 1 system as Master (the library is Local) and Put a copy on the NAS and run the content server there to allow reading (only because this is only a copy).
