However, I have discovered the problem - you must use the ROOT directory of the external sd card and/or the built-in storage. I had been copying my epubs into a kobo subdirectory (probably should have realized not to fool with it!). Once I put my files in the root of either storage place, the device immediately noticed the change and updated the library (didn't even have to power off). So, it's looking really fine now.
I believe sub directories are OK, they just can't be in directories that begin with a "."
I have my books in a sub directory named "books".
