Calibre will recognize and connect to the Sony PRS-650 if the USB HDD is disconnect. Calibre does also recognize the PRS-650 after mounting the encrypted partition.
The only time I have seen calibre ignore a device when a USB drive was connected is when the Tweak

# Specify a folder calibre should connect to at startup

was set to connect to a folder on that USB drive. Connecting to a folder treats a folder on the USB drive as a device and will ignore all other devices while it is connected. This was not the case for you or it would have showed up in the log you posted in the first post.

Since this was not the case I wonder if simply setting calibre to ignore the USB drive would work. Find this under Preferences - Sharing - Ignored devices. The USB drive would need to be connected in order for this setting to possibly work.

Thanks for sharing your solution.
