In Calibre I have the device connected and I can press <Device>->Configure this Device->update metadata. But, no matter what I do the reading status on the new device is not updated.
There isn't anything quite like what you describe. Calibre doesn't support it. My Kobo Utilities plugin has options to fetch the reading status from the device, and send it back later. Or you can just make selected books as read or unread.

The plugin can also backup the database from the device. You can then manually, and carefully, restore the database. This can work to restore the reading status. My experience is mixed. Restoring to the same device works. Restoring to a different device doesn't always.
