...for now I've put my database on a non-duplicated share.
Thanks a million! With this guide I was able to migrate my library in just a few minutes! I took a chance and left my metadata.db on the duplicated share to see what happens.... I'll move it if problems ensue.

Perhaps we can get Kovid to weigh in on why the service doesn't run properly as another user? I too don't like the idea of leaving it running as admin!
