As I understand it, when you make changes via the calibre GUI you are not making changes to the underlying ebook files but to the Calibre metadata database. To get the changes reflected in the files you need to either run a conversion or the Send to Disk option.

I notice that Kovid's reply does not mention this and as he is the ultimate authority on Calibre I guess I could be wrong.
