Is anyone using Calibre on a share and accessing the same files with multiple computers?

I tried using the built in webserver and I get the main screen menu of the website with a popup that says:

Code:

Error : error
undefined

In my home I have 5 PC desktops and 2 Macbook Pro laptops. I have the Calibre files and database on my main PC with those folders shared. On my Mac I mounted the SMB shares and attempted to point Calibre at that mount/directory when I do that I get a racetrack IO error.

On my files I have a lot where the meta data needs to be updated and it would just be more comfortable to do it from my laptop. But file space wise I want to keep the files and DB on the big PC.
