I think that the Kobo only looks to see if it has a file of the same name in its database, and then skips the file. It does not remove missing book files from its database -- a nasty bug, IMO. As I recall, if you change the filename when you put it back on the Kobo, it will scan the new file. Or you can use one of the sqlite tools to remove the offending database entries.
