I think the issue is what reader software you are using on the Arc, and where it expects (by default) to find books.

When the Arc is plugged in, and calibre has recognized it, click on the "arrow" besides the word Device across the top of the calibre screen and select the option configure this device. Here you will see two main areas of interest; a button on the right Change Scanned Folders and an area at the bottom Format Specific Sending.

The Change Scanned Folders is used to restrict where Calibre looks to find books, and hte Format Specific Sending sets up mappings between book types and locations to store them on the Arc.

(Sorry at this point I'm getting out of my comfort zone; not being sure where some of the Android readers look for books. I expect though that you could navigate throught the directories on the Arc from eReader applications such as Moon+ Reader or Aldiko. You could probably also get help in the MobileRead Android forum https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=225 as I think from your other post that the ePubs DID make it to the device).
