Edit: For things below to work, you do need to edit packaging.conf as xnormand stated above.
This seems to be what you said your tried, but since you were not very detailed:
If you use the tool UploadTest bundled with ACS4.1 distribution (it has to be 4.1 or above; 4.0's will not replace already existing resources), create the associated XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<package xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/adept">
   <action>replace</action>
   <resource>urn:uuid:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</resource>
   <metadata xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
      <dc:title>XXXXXXX</dc:title>
      <dc:creator>XXXXXXX</dc:creator>
      <dc:publisher>XXXXXXX</dc:publisher>
      <dc:format>application/epub+zip</dc:format>
   </metadata>
   <dataPath>/home/myuser/epubs/filename.epub</dataPath>
</package>
Note that, in the XML:
<resource> has to be exactly the same as the UUID of the book already in ACS that you intend to replace.
There is a directive <action>replace</action>.
You use <dataPath> if you'd prefer to package an epub residing not on your local machine, but on the server. Inside it you specify the path where it resides on the server.
Then run the tool from the Terminal like this:
java -Xmx512M -jar /pathTo/UploadTest-1_2.jar http://domain.com/Package ~/epubs/ -datapath -xml -jpg -pass yourpassword
Where:
/pathTo/UploadTest-1_2.jar points to ACS 4.1 or above's UploadTest sample tool.
http://domain.com/Package is the URL to your server's ACS's install of the Packaging service (depending on your server's install, port may have to be specified like http://domain.com:8080/Package)
~/epubs/ is your local path where the XML resides. Note that UploadTest will try to process all XML in that folder, not just the one you just created.
Again, you use -datapath if you are packaging an epub residing not on your local machine, but on the server. Obviously requires the dataPath in the XML.
yourpassword is your password to ACS' Packaging service. Since you are running this on the shell, watch out for plaintext password leftovers in your command history. Some UNIX installs do not add lines to the command history if the command is preceded with a space (but YMMV).
