Try a check library function in calibre and see if it reports any errors.

That error "smells" like you might have your library on a network drive, something that is not supported by calibre. See http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq....rked-drive-nas

@Petkov - maybe it's some sort of path naming issue - do you have an non ascii characters in your path or hard drive labels - eg Cyrillic, Katakana, Greek...

Solve the problem. Move the library to partition C and now everything works.

What sort of User rights did you have for that folder (Library) when it was on D: ?
