I can see that the firmware update is downloaded to the .kobo directory and have confirmed that the file contains the correct KoboRoot.tgz.
Once the reader is ejected, the update doesn't proceed - the Kobo just returns to the home screen, and the update files are deleted.
It sounds like you put the download zip file into .kobo, whereas you need to put the contents of the .zip file into .kobo, the "upgrade" folder, the KoboRoot.tgz, and the "manifest.md5sum".

Luck;
