However when the books are sent to the device, the collections are blank. Is this because the 650 is new, or am I doing something wrong?
Either you are doing something wrong, or something is broken.

1) Are you sure you are running the beta? (Version number in lower left should be 0.7.902.)
2) Is #dtags is the lookup name for the custom field? In other words, if you search for #dtags:x, will you find things?
3) is #dtags a text/multiple field?
4) does the column actually have something in it?
5) Are you using automatic metadata management? (manual will work, but the results are very hard to interpret.)

If the answers to all 5 are yes, then you need to run calibre in debug mode to see what is going on. If you are running on windows, open a cmd box and type 'calibre-debug -g >caldebug.txt' (no quotes). Be sure to note what folder you are in. Zip and post the file caldebug.txt (you are welcome to look at it as well. ).

If we can't tell what is going on from the debug log, then we will need to get copies of the media.xml and metadata.calibre. However, lets wait on that.
