I think you give yourself too much trouble (or I didn't understand): I just copy the contents of the card into a directory (or rather an archive like tar.bz2 or 7z that give a good compression for directory with many small files), format the card, then copy my saved contents, which causes a defragmentation of the card contents.
When I tried whether the Kobo would support an ext2 partition I did the same, copying the contents from my fat32 card to the newly formatted ext2, and the Kobo restarted properly, detecting some files that were not seen on the fat32 (?)
As for the contents of the Kobo, I already did the same with a previous save once when it seemed definitely frozen, and this worked also. Of course, the firmware and the Kobo system cannot be copied nor restored this way.
