Making the book pretty in calibre does not add the metadata to the book.

How did you "side load" them to the Nook.

Metadata is written to the book during certain functions:

Save to Disk
Send to device
Connect to Folder
Converting the book

I may have missed a feature, but if you didn't use one of the above and just grabbed the book directly from the calibre database then the metadata was never added to the book.
