Manage Calibre Library with two Calibre Instances

$

I have a Debian 8 server with Calibre 2.50 installed. system.d starts a calibre-server, through scripts I can import and convert bebooks. Ebooks are served through server for Tolino and Kindle readers.

The Database/Library is on server /path_to_server/calibre and can be accessed through Samba and NFS.

I want to work on metadata of this library from remote. I stopped the running calibre-server with
Code:

systemctl stop calibre.service
Now I want to mount the database from my remote Calibre installation (I chose /path_to_server/calibre as path for library in this installation), but it always says database is locked (read only). Since web-calibre does not offer editing-function, I have to go this way. Alternatively I would have to create the entire database/library on my local system and copy it to the server. This works, but is nasty for any changes.

How can I resolve this.

My remote Calibre version is 3.4. Should I downgrade to the older one?

I know that a remote database on a NAS/Server is not recommended. I do a lot of backuping here to prevent errors.
