It's the same whether I use my Mac or my Windows machine (I'm trying to set it up so I only use the Mac for both). Freshly updated Calibre on both, so 8.2.1, but I saw the same thing the first time I tried this maneuver, back in the 7.x days. So I don't think the OS or Calibre versions are relevant here.
Where does KU get the serial number from when it first sees the device, and where does it get the serial number from when it does a database backup? If those are different, that would be a big clue toward figuring out how I fouled up.

When your device is connected to calibre and you configure the plugin, your device will appear in the "Devices" tab. At that point, if your device is in the table there will an icon as shown in the picture and, if your device is not there, the button "Add connected device" (or something like that) will be active and you will be able to add the device to the table (and rename it).
