I then added a number 1 to the end of the book title and it went in about 10 seconds or so.

Fix your Send To Device Template to break the tie
With the device connected Configure appears on the Send To Device Icon context menu.
I use this: (does not work for 2 versions of the exact same book. Add {ID} as Kovid suggests, to break the tie ) (this does NOT change the book MDE in Calibre )
Code:
MyBooks/{series}/{series_index:0>2s}-{title}-{authors}
(I also tick 'use sub folders', since my template includes a path)
That gets the book ONTO the device (which is the first issue). The next issue is getting it recognized for the book/series/Author listings.

For getting 2 versions ONTO the KOBO. (assumes the above has also been done)
Configure the driver: Collections, covers & Uploads (A Tab): remove the tick for 'Do not treat replacements as new books' (that stops the 'processing' from treating it as a replacement for the other same title book)
This is a PITA if you also update errors for a book and do want to replace. Take your pick 1)PITA 2)Multi Versions
