An observation - are you just using the PG Epub "as-is" ? In general I find that they need a lot of tidying up to go cleanly onto a Kobo. The main issue is that PG splits the files simply according to length whereas for a decent reading experience you need to split them on a chapter basis.
My usual approach is to use Sigil to merge all the contents and then set markers based on chapters and then split the files based on the markers. You then might need to tidy up the TOC and clean up any other errors.
It makes for quicker opening of the chapters and always get a new chapter on a new page not halfway down a page and chapters split across pages apparently randomly.
I am now using jgoguen's KePub conversion plug-in to do the conversion before transferring, that way I should be able to see if there is likely to be an issue that will make the conversion fail (and perhaps just upload the EPUB).
