Are you downloading ePub and removing the DRM if there is any? If so, let Calibre read the metadata from the ePub and only then if it's not correct should you correct it. That's what I do.

OH and you don't know the eBook is getting the author incorrect since you are not allowing Calibre to read the metadata. In most cases, the filename is not good to use to populate the metadata in Calibre. And if the metadata is incorrect, it's the fault of the publisher, not Kobo.
