The epub on the end ? shouldn't that be *.epub (assumes you only want epub)
Does calibredb do file/folder (wildcard) recursion?
filename globbing is handled by the shell. (and will match the . in .epub, but usually we try to be more specific. )

And globbing will not recurse directories with the double-star, unless you activate
Code:
shopt -s globstar
