I suspect you are importing the books directly from calibre's directory. Metadata in the books inside calibre's library isn't updated just because you change the metadata in the GUI. You must export the book from calibre to embed the metadata. I grabbed the below from another post of mine to explain metadata insertion into epubs.

- Use the Content server to export the book from calibre.
The above 4 methods will insert the metadata into the book as the book leaves the confines of the calibre environment. The below 2 methods will update the book inside the calibre file structure. - Use the modify ePub plugin to update the metadata in the book.
- Convert the file, epub to epub would work.
Additionally covers will only get inserted into the ePub with the first 5 options above if there is an existing cover in the ePub that is properly structured and identified as a cover.
Currently if a cover doesn't already exist in the ePub or if the cover is not properly identified the only way to insert the cover is via a ePub - ePub conversion.

I hope this helped.
