First, what version of calibre are you running? It must be later than 0.7.21 (IIRC). I strongly recommend that you be using the latest release.

If you are running the latest release of calibrem then are you sure that you are using the 'key' for the field? The key is the value in the first box when you create the column, prefixed by a '#'. You can see it by hovering over the column heading of the custom column in question.

If you run calibre in debug mode, then it will tell you the fields that it thinks it is to use for collections. If you are running the latest release, you can easily run in debug mode by:
1) ensure that your 650 is not plugged in
2) start calibre.
3) click the little down arrow next to the preferences button. Choose restart in debug mode.
4) after calibre restarts, plug in the device. Ensure you have chosen automatic management.
5) close calibre
6) look at the resulting debug output. Posting it here would be best.
