"Error communicating with device"

I'm trying to copy my unread books from my Calibre library to my new Sage. There are only 11147, but the transfer keeps failing with
"Error communicating with device"

After this happened twice, I thought it might be a problem with the non-Kobo cable. So I got the supplied cable out of the box and used it. Tried again, same result. Then I wondered if there was a problem with the USB port on my PC, so tried another. Same result. Here's the log of the most recent attempt. The "no such file" book is in my Calibre library.

What do I need to do to fix this?
