As a test I copied te TXT file with it's JPG coverpage to a safe place and then deleted the book from Calibre. I then RE-added the book from the PDB file and indeed there is no metadata.

Do I understand correctly that a file format like PDB should actually CARRY the metadata with it or am I confused?
In the PDB output section what do you have the format set as? Only the eReader format supports metadata. The default is PalmDoc which does not support images at all nor does it support metadata.
