Metadata: Calibre to Adobe

I'm a long time user of Adobe Digital Editions, which I use with my Kobos. I have a large library of books in various places (depending on origin) on my computer, most of which have been added to the ADE library.

I just spent the best part of an afternoon re-titling book series in Calibre, using the metadata function, in order to have the series name and position apparent as part of the title (e.g. "Aubrey-Maturin Series 1 - Master and Commander"). Imported the books from their various locations into Calibre, edited the metadata, deleted the old listings from ADE and then added them from the Calibre library location back into ADE -- but none of the metadata changes came back to ADE with them.

I did see from some of the HTML that the changes I made were reflected in package.opf, which presumably is what Calibre reads for title, but not apparently ADE.

So, the question is whether there is some way to get Calibre metadata changes reflected in the ADE library?

And, related, I haven't yet seen a way to copy titles from Calibre directly to my Kobo. I presume I'll figure it out, but any hints welcome.
