Any other ideas?

Your files aren't named the same as his. He always had a dot after the ISBN, followed by the title. Normally, I'd say to try this:
(?P<isbn>.+)
However, IIRC, Calibre is not happy if you don't give it a title or author in the regex. One solution is to just add the books, then select all, use Edit Metadata (bulk) and the Search and Replace Feature to copy the ISBN from title into the ISBN field.
