If the shelves don't already exist on the device, you need to set the "Create shelves" option in the driver.

i disabled other kobo plugins.
the problems i encountered:
1) as i put the name of the shelf in custom metadata (in the textbox next to column heading-kobo bookshelf) they get added to the column.
then i sent the file once to memory card then ejected & once to main memory then ejected -result=one of the shelves that i had formed with the ereader had gone from having 8 books to 0 books and no new shelf(formed with calibre) was there on the ereader
what am i doing wrong??
2)can i make shelves with books that i send through calibre(after customizing metadata) to memory card??

All the rest sound correct.

3) i have read the term series shelves on calibre-kobo threads.i cant understand what does this mean??

You can use more than one column in the configuration for the shelves. If you use the "series" column, it will create a shelf for each series and put the books for the series on it. Hence "series shelf".

The driver will change the shelves for books that are on the device that are also in the calibre library. It won't do anything for other books on the device and it won't change their shelf.
I suggest you have a look in the stickies at the top of the forum. There is a shelf management thread that covers all this and more.
