And there is something you should know about cbz file, when you rename cbz to zip file and open it using your archive file manager, it should only contain the images files, and they should not be put into a directory and zip the directory.
That isn't the case here. And in fact, I remember reporting a bug to Kobo related to subdirectories. It was fixed a long time ago. Testing it now, having one level of subdirectories in a CBZ works.

Extra files should be OK as well. Or, at least the "Thumbs.db" in on of the CBZ files isn't breaking anything.

But, there could be a problem with the file names. Calibre will make sure the archive file name is OK for the device. But, it won't touch the internal file names. If these have unsafe characters in them, they might cause problems.
