I suppose the problem is this. The driver compares the shelves the books are currently on, to the shelves defined in calibre. If a difference is seen, how is the driver meant to know whether the difference has been caused by a change in the calibre definitions for shelving, or a manual change on the Kobo.

The implementation of the driver is such that ANY difference in shelving, the definitions in calibre are taken as master, and thus overwrite any changes on the device itself.
