OK. Thats the problem.

Did you change the location of the metadata file? Because that will simply not work.

No. The location of the metadata files are at the root of my file systems (1 for onboard and 1 for sd).
Its the default place for Calibre to save it.
It uses the root path on all my android systems also.

If not, how exactly did you export the books from Calibre?

Just save them to disk and sideload them.
Also at the KoboExtended driver setup, I use ".Books/{author_sort}/{authors} - {title}" as the 'Save Template'.

Maybe there is one setting that I have to take into account, since Calibre is able to find the Sherlock Holmes book although the relative path to it does not exist under mnt/sd/.Books

I think that the problem is that in defaults.lua I wrote the whole path to the books, a thing you don't need, since its relative to the metadata file.
When I just wrote "mnt/sd" or "mnt/onboard" (depending on the location I was targeting) the "mnt/sd/.Books" or the "mnt/onboard/Books" was searched as it supposed to.
Maybe the only thing the user should have to do is to tell if the books are on the Internal or the External card.
Or maybe not even that.
You could look at the onboard and sd root by default.
