Don't do this manually - instead open a ticket on the Calibre web site. Or post in the Calibre forum first to see if this is a known issue with a work around. If the Cybook and BeBook can see the metadata then Calibre should read it too. The bug will probably be fixed quicker than you can enter the data anyway.

Note that very old PRC files don't have author info (but all should have the title). There is an option to use the filename to specify the author and title - which only helps if you have a "system" for filenames but if you do Calibre can take advantage of it as its last resort when importing.
