Only the most recent book I loaded in calibre and one I've just deleted and reloaded as a test has that entry.
I've tried reloading both books which has that entry but still no subtitle on first connection.

That should work...

If you want to confirm that NickelSeries sees it, look at the syslog (with logread).

Unless Kobo is overriding the subtitle afterwards, which it didn't IIRC.
