Adding books Error

When I try to move a book into calibre I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\add.py", line 127, in start
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\add.py", line 221, in add
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\add.py", line 234, in add_formats
File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 1348, in add_format
File "shutil.py", line 48, in copyfileobj
IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

Any ideas?

I had tried LIT, TXT and PDF by using the Add Books icon and by dragging the file in. I ran calibre in debug mode tried dragging and adding using the add book icon. Both times I recieved the following:

Failed to read the metadata from the following:

That can happen on some windows systems due to filename encoding issues. Make sure the files you are trying to add do not have special characters in their names or in the paths leading up to them.

Filenames and paths are ok, still cannot add books. Any other suggestions?
