Good as that tells me what the problem was.

I didn't get exactly the point...you mean that since v2.69 KoboTouch is used only for connection to the nickel db?
Yes, the KoboTouch driver looks only looks at database on the device to see what books are on the device. Any book not in the database is ignored by the driver. And the only reason it should not be in the database is if it has only just been added to the device and hasn't been processed.

I fixed a long-standing bug that meant books not actually on the device were being reported as existing. And other books were appearing with the wrong collections in the device list.

Not so good as workaround. I cannot import tags and collections from Calibre to koreader...
How are you getting the tags and collections now? Aren't these coming from metadata.calibre file? If so, the Folder Device driver will also maintain this file. I would be surprised if it didn't contain the same details as the KoboTouch driver maintained version.
