CC unable to write to file (Android

Edit: And this is why I should know better than to post a bug before replicating it. Problem seems to be solved. I flashed the same developer preview again and this time the problem does not occur, books transfer fine. Must have messed up the previous flash somehow.

Please ignore everything below.

I'm currently testing the latest developer preview for Android 5.0, and I ran into an odd bug with CC.

When attempting to transfer books to the device ("Connect as Wireless Device"; Nexus 5), it connects successfully but when attempting to "Send Books to Device" from Calibre, I get the error:

"CC cannot write the book file. Disconnecting from Calibre."

The connection drops, no files transferred. I get a similar message when attempting to change the default folder ("Could not create folder"). For some odd reason, it seems that CC is unable to write to disk. The default folder is "/storage/emulated/0/Calibre_Companion", which I believe was the same when using 4.4.4.

For what it's worth, this install was a clean flash. Shouldn't be any leftovers from 4.4.4.

Device/Software Information:
CC version: 3.5.3
Model Number: Nexus 5
Android version: 5.0
Build Number: LPX13D (Nexus 5 build of Developer Preview released Oct 17)

I have to flash back to 4.4.4 now (unfortunately a few key apps I need are not functional on 5.0 yet), but I'll be sure to give it another go on the next 5.0 release.

It is hard to count the number of times I have done something similar.
