If you open device manager and go to the properties of the Kobo, you can verity that write-caching is indeed disabled.
Ok, a disabled write cache makes my first idea moot.

I'm a unix guy, so I'm not completely sure myself, but it should be something like:
  1. open a command prompt (start -> run -> cmd)
  2. navigate to your Calibre install (cd \Program Files\???)
  3. start Calibre

Then watch that command window when you try to send your books to your reader.

(didn't there use to be an option to right-click on an icon, select properties, & then tell it to run the process in a command line?)
