Is this because I now have KO reader on it or is it due to system changes that I did not notice being installed. The KO reader works fine but am not sure why it makes much difference if the main system now uses the SD card fully. Any fundi with a short answer as this thread was getting complicated and way above my head!
From my experience, there has never been a real problem accessing books in subdirectories on the card with my Touch. The only issue is that the card isn't recognised properly after restarting the device. I need to eject it and reinsert it for it to be seen. There have been a couple of firmware version specific things, but, they tended to block all books or trigger a reimport each time the card was inserted.

I think the only other issue I have had with it was that I had a card formatted as FAT16 rather than FAT32. That didn't like a lot of books in the root directory. Reformatting the card fixed that.

Unless you are starting KOReader each time you reboot the device before using nickel, it is more likely that a firmware change fixed whatever the issue was.
