Sorry about that, I didn't read your post properly.
In any case, I did a quick test. I put an epub in the .kobo directory so it wouldn't get processed. Then I telneted in and copied it to the root and then used touch to set the date to last year. Then a connect and disconnect and it was processed. A single test isn't conclusive, but it agrees with all the behaviour I have seen.
