See the attached image for what I see on one of my Kobos when the problem shows up.

My workaround for this has been to use NickelMenu to trigger a reboot before the USB connection for ensure that the database files are closed.

I wouldn't bother looking for issues due to metadata, etc. on your computer.
Tried rebooting and worked like a charm; thank you so much! I was looking through the most recent firmware update thread and thought it could be because of the USB files not closing bug, but I wasn't sure how to fix it until now.
