What is Calibre doing to make the books show up on the Kindle that is not happening when I manually copy the books?
You mean not copying them via USB? I don't know what Calibre does but when you hit the disconnect button on the Fire when it's connected to your PC the books should show up.

If you are not using USB you have to either Restart the Fire or use File Expert to open each one in the Kindle app for them to appear on your shelves.
