Hi,
I'm trying to run a script that I've created to add some metadata to ebook files using calibre's command line tools. The script is working fine on my test machine, however when I put it live on my host it does not work.

Here's my PHP:
The $output is as follows:
The $return_val is 1 (not incredibly useful).
Any idea what's causing this? Or, alternatively, has it been fixed since calibre-1.48.0-x86_64? I must use the older version since my host is on an older centos.
