Check the plywood with a moisture meter, the ply may feel dry but could have moisture that you can't detect. Ensure that you push the pins through the top layer of veneer.
I would not use staples on the roof, they tend to work lose and will find their way back out through the rubber.

Then use you eternabond or ?, and then cover with your roof coating.
A good source of DIY info on rubber roofs is the Dicor web site, get it straight from the horses mouth.
