Question "Failure to add book" err on new setup... works fine elsewhere

Recently updated my PC (Win10) and shifted my libraray across to be hosted on my NAS.

Had some previous books loaded into Calibre just to test the install worked but hadn't the time to shift them ALL across until now... (note: files are on NAS, just not imported into Calibre)

First attempt unsucessful... "Failure to add book"

Updated to Calibre 5.6... another unsuccessful attmpt and same error.
Read err text, not making sense to me.

Fire up laptop (running Calibre 5.5) import same file from NAS into Calibre and everything's OK.

Back to PC, try again and same err. Now i'm onto the help to see if smarter people can help me discern what's going on...

Here's the Err Info. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Take your library off your NAS and try again.
