Umm...

Perhaps we need a new forum rule.

DO NOT... Post requests for help while suffering from severe flu symptoms

To clarify what I'm trying to achieve.

I start with a list of filenames in the following format:

<Author> - <Series_Name> <Series_Index> - <Title> (<Subtitle and/or Other Info>).<fmt>

This is split and formatted into the following:

Author (FN LN)
Author_Sort (LN, FN)
Series
Series_Index
Title
Subtitle

I then read the metadata from the source file, update it as appropriate with the above and call add_books() passing the updated metadata.

This works almost exactly as intended. The book is added with the correct metadata except for the missing custom column data.
