The error says:
calibre, version 8.2.1
ERROR: Not allowed: You are trying to save files into the calibre library. This can cause corruption of your library. Save to disk is meant to export files from your calibre library elsewhere.

What am I doing wrong?
You are trying to save in your library. Create a new directory outside of your library and use that to save to.
