OK, started up Calibre in debug and plugged in the Kobo:

Results: Calibre saw the SD card and thought it was the main memory. It did not see the main memory at all (so apparently I no longer have any SF & Fantasy loaded on the Kobo). The Mac mounted the card and the main memory the wrong way round. However, when I plugged in the Kobo it was complaining about needing to be charged. I will try again tomorrow when it's had a chance to charge overnight. After ejecting the Kobo via the Calibre device menu, I got a Mac error saying the SD_CARD was not ejected correctly. I did not get the Error communicating with device pop-up I previously saw.

OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6, Calibre 2.80

Would you like me to try with the card out of the slot?

Spoiler:
