Do it this way, much easier

You need the free programs, Calibre, Calibre2Opds on your PC, Trook on your Nook
http://calibre-ebook.com/download
https://launchpad.net/calibre2opds/+download
Install Calibre, organise your library, make a special effort to correct the "Tags" to your liking, ie not loads of repeat tags
I make heavy use of the "edit Metadata" button to download data and covers for my ebooks.
Once you have all the Covers, tags, and reviews to your liking, save and quit Calibre.

Plug in your Nook to the PC via USB cable
Run Calibre2Opds
Select Nook icon as your Mode
Select the root directory of your Nook 2nd SD card as your destination
Press "generate"

Calibre2Opds will now transfer your entire Calibre library, book, covers and data to your Nook for you
It took 5 minutes to transfer my 400 books.
When finished, unplug the Usb cable
Start Trook, slide along to "My Books" and select
Slide along and select "My SDcard"
You will find a new ICON, a bookshelf with "calibre" written beside it, select the bookshelf
You can now browse and open all your books by cover and data........
You can even scroll up and down the data beside each book cover, it's really smart IMHO

You end up with your complete Calibre "library" folder copied and indexed on your Nook additional SDcard, It can be read with Trook, or The Nookdevs MyLibrary..
