Conversion to Kindle Fire Document

I have a Kindle Fire and I want my mobi books to appear on the Documents shelf rather than on the Books shelf. That's how I keep my books separate from my wife's.

1) I do a Calibre mobi to mobi conversion, making sure that [PDOC] appears in the Personal Doc tag field.
2) I copy the new mobi file from my computer to the Fire's Documents folder via USB
3) I reboot the Fire

The end result is that the mobi file is in the Documents folder, but the book appears on the Books shelf, not on the Documents shelf.

I know that I can accomplish what I want by emailing the book to the Fire, but I want to be able to do it via USB. Is there something more that I can do with Calibre to get these books to appear on the Documents shelf rather than on the Books shelf? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.
