Jan -

UHD supports calibration of all WBX boards.  The issue is that when you
bought your WBX, we weren't burning serial numbers into that daughterboard.
  The calibration routine requires a serial number, because it uses it to
save / identify the calibration data.

All you need to do is burn a serial into your daughterboard.  UHD builds a
utility called 'usrp_burn_db_eeprom' (host/build/utils), which you can use
to set the serial of your daughterboard:

./usrp_burn_db_eeprom --unit=TX --ser=<serial>
./usrp_burn_db_eeprom --unit=RX --ser=<serial>

The serial you set can be any 9-digit ASCII string.  After you write new
serials into your daughterboards, try the calibration again, and it should
 work fine.

Cheers,
Ben
