Error when copying.
Any idea why I'm getting the errors below when I try to copy books from one of my libraries to another.

calibre, version 0.8.59
ERROR: Failed: Could not copy books: [Errno 13] Permission denied

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\actions\copy_to_library.py", line 38, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\actions\copy_to_library.py", line 60, in doit
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\actions\copy_to_library.py", line 77, in _doit
File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 1343, in format
File "site-packages\calibre\startup.py", line 156, in local_open
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied


Regards

Do you have full rights to Both folders (and files)?
Was one of the Libraries on or Copied from a CD/DVD? (those are read only)

The drive is attached to my router and I have full rights as far as I can tell. I'm able to copy and edit files on the drive with ease.

Does the drive have a drive Letter assigned? (UNC addresses may not work in all applications)

Yes, it has a drive letter assigned to it. I went into properties for the drive and I'm not able to change any permissions so that might be an issue, but not sure how to resolve that.

Permissions might be on the server end for a networked drive.

It's connect to a EA4500 router via the USB port. No way to set any permission on it at all from what I can see.
