Copying my library

I copy my Calibre library from my Mac to my wife's Mac everyday using ChronoSync. I copy /Users/howardjbrazee/Calibre Library to the same spot on her computer.

The trouble is, every time she runs Calibre, it says the library is corrupt. It fixes the library and everything is alright.

Is there a way to not need to fix the library whenever she uses it?

Probably a permissions issue, i.e. the copy includes the Access Control List.

There's probably a way to prevent that, search for something like "MacOS: copy folder to another Mac without the ACL"

Also another option is to use calibre export/import and let calibre recreate the library in your wife's Mac using the imported data. You can find the entry for export under calibre library icon.
