I forgot that last bit, before you shutdown your machine make sure you exit out of calibre and give Dropbox enough time to sync the metedata.db file up to the Dropbox. Calibre locks that file and that is where all of your metadata is written to. It is possible to exit calibre and shutdown the computer before Dropbox has a chance to update the file.

I have been using one of Dropbox's experimental builds version 0.8.91 and it seems to update the metadata.db file every time it changes even if it is use.
