It appears that this final step is failing for some reason. Perhaps a calibre debug log would help to show why.
Please feel free to contain the discussion in one of the KFX plugin threads.

I cannot test this myself because the conversion asks for a program (kindle previewer?) which is not available on linux, but if it is of any help for you, that's how Action Chains runs the convert process, and then imports the book:
Code:
gui_convert(input_path, output_path, recommendations)
db.new_api.add_format(book_id, output_format, output_path)
Is there anything here that causes the problems? It seems to work for all other formats.
Edit: output_path will end with a .kfx extension, and output_format is KFX.
