I'm not sure if this is related but...

I often need to update a book using calibre. If I do the following, Kobo doesn't see the book:

1) delete the book on the Kobo
2) plug in the Kobo
2) Start calibre (calibre shows the book isn't on the device)
3) send the book to the Kobo (using send from calibre)
4) eject and unplug the Kobo

The book doesn't show up on the Kobo .
I can only say that it works for me. I did realise I hadn't tried it with FW2.4.0, but it did for a test book.

6) use calibre to transfer the book
7) eject

The book appears on the Kobo .

So now I always do an extra plug/unplug cycle. I needed to this on the Touch, so now I do it on the Glo. This maybe voodoo, but it works.
One of the firmware versions left a row in the database when deleting a book. If a replacement was sent before that row was deleted, then it wasn't picked up. The firmware deleted the row when you synced to the Kobo server. And I added code to delete the row if you resend the book from calibre. From memory, this was FW2.0.0 and possibly 2.1.1.

What happens if you delete the book from the device using calibre and then send it again?
