error 21

When trying to add a book to my library I get the following error overtime, regardless of how I try to add the book (drag and drop or "add Book"

I have disabled all plugins and cleaned the library (no errors, no duplicates). I've also tried a few different pub files with mixed results, some import fine, others generate this error. I cannot see any difference in the files and they are not DRMed.

Not sure if it matters, but Calibre is often using 90-105% of a CPU core (2012 iMac), then drops to 0.5%

macOS Sierra, Calibre 2.82

Code:
calibre, version 2.82.0
WARNING: Errors while adding: There were problems adding some files, click "Show details" for more information
