I think this step may be your problem.

The metadata.db is the face of calibre if this file doesn't get changed then the content server will look as if nothing changed. If calibre on your laptop is still open when you run this it may prevent the sync tool from copying the metadata.db file and thus you don't see a change on your server. Or if the content server is running it has the metadata.db file open and may prevent the sync tool from altering it which again results in the metadata.db file from being changed.

You might find this thread interesting. Even though the thread starts out talking about dropbox the result was a sync issue due to an open database.

Good Luck.
