Sounds to me like your zebra reindex job is not running.

Things aren't moved from the reservoir, they are copied, so it will
still be in the reservoir if it is the catalogue or not.

When you add one, check the url, and see what the biblionumber is.

Then in the database (or in reports)

SELECT * FROM biblioitems where biblionumber = that_number

If it's in the db, its in the catalogue, and its just your cron job to
reindex is not running (or failing)
