It is Linux (ubuntu 14.04.3). I tried it again: if I first enable usb then plug it in then kobo is not detected, if I disable usb and enable again then it appears.
Do you want some other tests?

This happened because you started nickel while usb was enabled. When usb is enabled, the user partition is unmounted. Therefore nickel cannot find the database and the configuration files and tries to set them up newly. Maybe I should prevent the user from trying to start nickel, if usb is enabled. Thank you for this important observation. I would have never thought of starting nickel while usb is enabled.

This is why "real" users testing is important. Users can do things in strange orders, which the programmer never thought will happen.
Thanks for the explanation, so no database fault, just user fault :-) This is way better.
I suggest you not to disable starting nickel while usb enabled just ask whether usb can be automatically disabled now. (or more precisely whether to set up mounts as needed for normal use) On the other hand if you feel it is better matches the general usage of KSM then just a warning is enough, like "
user partition is unmounted, normally you should disable usb before starting nickel. Proceed without disabling usb?"
