There's technically a second layer between the Koha MySQL database and
Zebra: the MARC holdings tags. Whenever you update something in the biblio,
biblioitems, or items table, you have to run
misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl to update the MARC record, and then run
rebuild_zebra .

(Note that, as Mason said, it usually is easier to use the Perl API to do
this; it'll update the items table and MARC record, and queue the record to
be updated in Zebra.)
