The library books open without problems on the mobipocket reader.
If the library book opens with MobiPocket Reader then it contains your desktop PID (which probably has a "$" in it). Since kindlefix worked, the ebook must also have the Kindle's PID (with a "*") in it as well - but perhaps the Kindle is looking for an ebook with a single PID. Try redownloading the ebook authorized only for the Kindle from your lending library. This probably means downloading outside MobiPocket Reader.
