That's a strange error, it implies calibre was unable to write to a file it has just successfully opened for writing. The only way I know of for that to happen, is kernel/filesystem driver bugs. Is you calibre library located somewhere unusual such as a networked drive or on a drive with a non-NTFS filesystem?

Is there a problem with running 32-bit Calibre on a 64-bit machine?

No there are no problems with running 32bit calibre on 64bit machines. Your problems all stem fro putting your calibre library folder on a broken filesystem.

Here is the error:

calibre, version 3.30.0
ERROR: Unhandled exception: CantOpenError:CantOpenError: unable to open database file

Spoiler:

Nope, I run 32bit calibre on 64bit system frequently.

That message suggests it's a problem with the metadata.db file in the library it's trying to open, like something has it locked, or its badly corrupted. Try shutting down your AV.
