I'm not sure which firmware I'm using - I know the ereader updated itself recently.
There were problems with version 4.4.9298 firmware seeing the SD card if it didn't have a label. This has been fixed with 4.4.9344 and 4.4.9349. Check the version in the settings to see which it is. Or you can add a label to the card using the PC.

What is the "normal" behavior when the Kobo recognizes the filesystem? Should any books on the SD card appear in the "normal" library, or perhaps as their own shelf?
When the device sees the card, it flashes the screen. If there are books on it that the device hasn't seen before, the black processing screen will be displayed as it add the books to the library. If it can't process the card for some reason, it should display an error message.

Also, to answer a comment in your first post, yes this should be in a separate thread. Keeping threads to a single problem keeps the thread focussed and easier to see what has been suggested and tried.
