Here it is
Theodosia 02 - Theodosia and the Staff of Osrsis.prc
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\metadata\worker.py", line 54, in read_metadata_
File "shutil.py", line 52, in copyfile
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Windows\\system32'

That's not a uuid4 error. That a error reading metadata from that particular file.

But it is happening on every prc file I try to add.

You've got a custom plugin installed, perhaps to remove DRM? That's what's causing this. Disable the plugin and you'll be fine.

Thank you for your patience I had been looking at that the other day and did not realize that I had added it.

I may be totally wrong here but I think it might be something to do with the shortcut in the start icons are at the bottom left of the screen.

The number next to the heart showed 6.36 but I was getting the 'Failed to read metadata' error. I figured what the hey and deleted the Calbre folders from both the program files and the start menu files.

Wen I clicked on the the shortcut in the start icons are at the bottom left of the screen, it said it couldn't find the file.

I opened calbre using teh .exe in the calibre2 folder and I can add the troublesome book.
Hooray!

Dunno if this helps anyone else?
