A new question:

I borrowed a book from Overdrive and used Adobe Digital Editions to load it onto my Kobo. Then I created a book record for it in Calibre and matched it and put "Loans" in #kobocoll. the matching works; the metadata got updated and it's fetching my Kobo bookmarks. But for some reason #kobocoll won't change the collections.

What did I do wrong this time? The only thing I can think of different from other books (sideloaded or not-sideloaded) is that for library book I only have a dummy .OVERDRIVE file rather than an actual ePub file in Calibre, but I can't see how that matters if it's matched.
