Only change in media.xml is the addition of the said epub and a change in counter at the top of the file:
Code:
<xdbLite xmlns="http://xscool.net/xdb/1" xmlns:xs1="http://www.kinoma.com/FskCache/1" default="string" nextID="110">
nextID=112 on my Reader now.
There must be another change somewhere, because 2 IDs were used. It is probably a new collection, but it is worth being sure.

To verify, you copied the original of the media.xml from the device just before starting calibre to put the book on the reader? My concern is that if it is a copy from some time back (like from before you put the device into your home machine), you might be comparing to the 'right' one when the actual media.xml before insertion was different.

You can test if the Sony SW is rescanning the library by sending some .txt file to the device. Create a small file, import it into calibre, set its author and title to something other than Unknown (e.g., Joe Blogs, My Precious Text File) and send it to the device. After you unplug the device, check on it to see if the author and title are still there. If they are, then Sony and calibre are in agreement on the date. If they are not, then Sony and calibre had a fight, and Sony won. This test works because .txt files contain no metadata, so a Sony scan with mismatching dates will reset the metadata to Sony defaults.
