@excaliber:
The use of the upcoming auto-add via calibredb will result in a 100% match between the CSV and Calibre, since I fully control what calibredb does. It will add the Zotero Key as a Calibre Identifier for each book as it is added. The automatic metadata update will match on that if it exists.
The Identifier zkey:xxxxxx will not exist for legacy books already in your Calibre Library.
For the latter, the automatic matching still has to match on filenames being exactly the same.
Unfortunately, Calibre truncates filenames when they get too long, which means that those books will have to be manually matched to the CSV file.
There are also differences between Windows and Linux as regards Calibre filename restrictions.
Truncation of the filename for non-auto-added books results in a 100% failure rate for automatic matching for updating the metadata from the CSV.
Truncation is irrelevant when books are added via the upcoming auto-add via calibredb, since the books will be matched by the new Identifer zkey:xxxxxx which will be added by calibredb automatically and immediately.
You might seriously consider "starting fresh" with a new Calibre Library for Zotero, and populating it exclusively using the upcoming auto-add process
