That error is usually a sign that the database on the device is corrupt. It can sometime be fixed by restarting the device. But, usually you need to replace the database on the device either with a backup, or by signing out of the Kobo account on the device and back in again. The latter creates a new database and imports the sideloaded books again.

I have since (without re-starting Calibre) just tried 399 books and got an error. So for the book transfer, it seems the problem is a corrupted file (which I have removed). I can't figure out what the issue getting the kobo's book list into Calibre is though.

What was the error that said the book was corrupt? Unless you are using the KoboTouchExtended driver, calibre isn't doing anything that should trigger an error like this. Or are you saying the error happened on the device when it tried to import the book/

ADDITIONAL INFO: I removed the file that was corrupted according to the error message and got the same message with the next file in the list when I tried again... My Glo is now only good for 300 or so books - so disappointed - it's been used very sporadically and with kid gloves and now seems "broken" because of this update.

That to me says the internal SD card is failing. It might be that the filesystem for the book partition on the device is badly corrupted. Either of these could also be the cause of the first error.
The firmware update is probably a coincidence. One of the things that happen is that the device is rebooted. If you don't do that very often, any issues with the database will come up at this point.
You could try a factory reset. This will format the book partition and take you through the setup. If it is just a problem with file system, it will be fixed. If it is a problem with the card, it might temporarily fix it, but will probably happen again.
