The critical file is the metadata.db file which changed format between the 0.5.x series and the 0.6.x series. I have found that all other files appear to be OK. You need to be aware though that copying over the metadata.db file will lose any changes made in the other version of calibre.

I'd like to use the new features and functions but this MOBI conversion problem stops me from using the beta version (unless B15 is about to be released..which I will give another try).
You need to make certain that any issues you have with the 0.6.0 betas have tickets raised so that they get looked at. Kovid has said that calibre 0.6.0 is expected tocome out of beta in the next week or so.
