Unable to import book into Library
Where trying to import an epub book into Calibre I get the following error:
calibre, version 3.46.0 ERROR: Errors while adding: Failed to add any books With error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/add.py", line 414, in add_book File "site-packages/calibre/db/legacy.py", line 225, in create_book_entry File "site-packages/calibre/db/cache.py", line 62, in call_func_with_lock File "site-packages/calibre/db/cache.py", line 1584, in create_book_entry File "site-packages/calibre/db/cache.py", line 1304, in set_metadata File "site-packages/calibre/db/cache.py", line 1130, in update_path File "site-packages/calibre/db/backend.py", line 1580, in update_path File "lib/python2.7/os.py", line 157, in makedirs OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Volumes/media/Books/Calibre/Author/Book Name (274)' If a create a new Calibre library the book imports without issue! Any ideas/resolutions to what is causing this problem would be most appreciated. |

Is that a LOCAL drive for your Library? That is a requirement.
There is a FAQ on 'permission denied" errors, but I thought that was mostly for devices |

The Calibre is on a Mac mini server, and using Calibre on an iMac using a shared drive (on the server). Even when I run Calibre on the server (local drive), I get the same error.
I have no issue importing any other book, just this one. I'll take a closer look at the FAQ... Quote:

Try creating a fresh library on the iMac local drive and see if you can add the book to it - if you can then you've probably ran up against the FAQ recommendation: Do not put your calibre library on a networked drive. BR |

That is a permission denied error, check the permissions on the folders in that path, basically the OS is not allowing calibre to create the folder for that book
