Now I am even more confused. Text files do not contain metadata so the plugboard will have no effect at all, but that is the one that worked.

I may be dealing with the wrong issue. What I am trying to determine is whether or not the plugboard is updating the metadata *inside* the book being transferred, which is all a plugboard is supposed to do. My experiment shows that they work for me -- the title in the opf inside the epub book was changed by the plugboard. You should do the same experiment to see if the title inside the opf in your epub is being changed by your plugboard. If the title is changed, then plugboards work and something else is controlling what metadata your palm uses for your books. If the title is not changed, then the question becomes "why not?".

Do note that plugboards cannot change metadata on DRM-infested books.
