Bump!
A number of other people are running up against this bug and it's become quite annoying. Any word on attempts to reproduce it given the info I've provided?

It appears to be an old bug around from L5 days:

And a possibly related one, but may be a different bug (also still not fixed):

Follow-up to thread => https://community.logos.com/forums/p/98262/679755.aspx#679755 was initial creation completed successfully followed by closing PBB resource, changing docx trying to remove some warnings, and trying to build, which received an error.
Run Close All (and waited for sync to complete), then opened Personal Book tool for another build:
The LogosError.log file shows several sync errors with servers:

Only way to clear sync lock of PBB so can rebuild is restart Logos; seems PBB sync failure lacks graceful handling

Bradley, have you seen that KS4J has suggested the cause of this problem: a sync lock on the PBB resource which cannot be released until Logos is restarted. Workaround is compiling PBBs while offline. But that's irritating to have to do. Wish this issue could be fixed in Logos:

Rosie Perera:Workaround is compiling PBBs while offline.
Workaround does not work. When offline in 6.0b Beta 3, synchronization queue still raises error (even though all resources have been closed):

Rosie Perera:Bradley, have you seen that KS4J has suggested the cause of this problem: a sync lock on the PBB resource which cannot be released until Logos is restarted.
I have seen that post, but I have no idea what "sync lock on the PBB resource" means. (Sync doesn't "lock" PBB resources.) And now it looks like KS4J is saying that the workaround doesn't actually work. (Which doesn't surprise me, because I don't believe the problem has been diagnosed accurately.)
Rosie Perera:OK, I've sent the file, but I've found that the error occurs no matter what PBB I'm trying to rebuild, so there must be some other reason on my system that it's failing every time.
Can you reproduce the problem if you open Logos 6 to a blank layout, and only open the Personal Books Tool panel?

I will try it when I get home. I'm still with family back East for the holidays, returning to Vancouver tonight. No time to play with it right now on my laptop, as I have to get ready to get to the airport.

I'm not Rosie, but I can confirm that the build failure still occurs under this scenario. L6.0b Beta 4 Mac OS 10.10.1

I've done a little more digging and stumbled across something that may be related to this problem. (It's WPF-related and only seems to be triggered when there are no other resources open, so trying this workaround is unlikely to help Mac and is unlikely to be causing the problem shown in your second screenshot, which showed multiple resource panels. There's probably more going on here; as mentioned, I can't reproduce this anywhere near as easily as you can.)
When you get the "Could not remove existing resource" error, trying opening a new resource from the Library (that's not already open). Then click Finished then Build Book again; does that avoid the error?

Afraid not. Now, it says, "Build failed with 2 errors, 0 warnings"
Here are the last two PBB logs. Hope they tell you something worthwhile.

Jack Caviness:Afraid not.
It was a workaround for Windows:

You said unlikely; I just confirmed that it would not work
Really cannot understand why you cannot reproduce it as it has been a bug since at least L5 for me—and others.
I can confirm that none of the suggested fixes work for me, running on a Mac. Sorry, I posted details in the original thread, thinking this was a PBB Sync discussion, with which I have no familiarity.
Can only do one Personal Books compile without a Logos restart
Yes, for me that does seem to allow me to build the book again without errors. Just that one time, though. If I tried to build it yet again right away, it fails. But if I open another new resource, then I can go back and build that PB successfully. Weird.
So at least you've found a workaround for Windows, and hopefully this might give you a clue as to how to fix it so we don't have to do the workaround. But I see from the others that it doesn't fix it for Mac.
Rosie Perera:But I see from the others that it doesn't fix it for Mac.
More information from a Mac user.
After the first PB compile, I cannot recompile that, or any other PB in my library. However, I can add a new PB and compile it successfully. I just did about four new PBs in a row. This is true even if there is an unsuccessful recompile of an existing PB in the sequence. (I tried that just to eliminate a variable.)

Rosie, I mentioned in the bug aggregate thread that I was able to reproduce the issue with your provided document. We have active cases for a few different issues pertaining to recompiling personal books, and there are developers actively looking into it. I don't know how far they are from completely fixing the issue, but I will say that progress was made as recently as Monday.
Just wanted to reply here as well.

Great. Thanks! It will be good to finally get this taken care of. I'm not sure why it's been so hard to reproduce, but glad my document helped.

This should be fixed in 6.1 Beta 1.
