I have set up custom columns in calibre to emulate a folder structure, so that 'save to disk' will save ebooks in the folder structure that I want. Is it possible to make calibre save in this same format while syncing to NOOK?
Calibre sends books to nooks my files folder. Using send to device template you can set directory structure etc. I have disabled the nook touch plugin in calibre and set up the user defined plugin for it so that I can send the books to the root of my sd card.

Code:
{tags:re([\.],/!)|!|}/{authors[0]}/{authors}/{series:subitems(0,1)||/}{series_index:0>5.2f| | - }{series:subitems(1,10)| | - }{title}
I dont use custom columns the way you are using so am not sure you can put a directory structure in it. From your post in another thread I guess you want to create a genre hierarchy directories.
I dont use publisher given metadata tags as I feel they are useless for a personal library. So have suborned the tags column for genre and subgenre. You can get how to set genre and subgenre from

After you have set your genres in calibre using this code in send to device template will make calibre generate directories for you according to genre.
Code:
{tags:re([\.],/!)|!|}/
