Do you have an example of an issue due to a file name? Perhaps that’s where my issue lies.
Are you sure it isn't there? Sideloaded audiobooks don't show up as a separate type of book. If you purchase one from Kobo, the filters in the book list will have "Audiobook" added. But, sideloaded audiobooks just appear as a book. The type in the list will be "MP3Z". Check the filter you are using and the sort to make sure it definitely isn't there.

For the filename, some accented or extended character sets can cause problems. Keep it simple to start. The internal files follow the same rules. The only other thing would be to make sure you haven't put it somewhere you have added the ignore rule for. The root directory should be fine.

It could also be being blocked by something else. Does the importing screen show after you eject the device? If there is an error in another book, it can block importing more books. If this is the case, you will see the importing screen but probably won't see any new books added.

And for the record, I did check again when I saw this. I don't use audiobooks myself, so I had to recheck that it was working. Just in case.
