Is there some setting in iTunes or calibre I'm missing?

Review the instructions in the first post in this thread for general configuration recommendations.
When you sync iTunes with your iDevice, the Books playlist in your library is synced with the Books playlist on your iDevice. Confirm that all of the books you want on your iDevice are still in iTunes.

Is there a way to get the series number to appear somewhere. From the prior posts in this thread it seems I should, but I can't figure it out. My series all sort in the proper order (at least for the 10 minutes they are actually on the device) but if I'm missing books in the series I don't know about it.

You would need to rename your books to incorporate the series name and number if you want them to appear in the titles shown in iBooks.

Also, there seem to be some tags hard coded into books that keep popping up as categories. For example my copy of The Puppet Masters from Baen always appears with the category Science Fiction, even though I have no tags and no series info for this book via calibre. Is there a way to get rid of these unwanted tags? They really disturb my anal retentive self.

The Category shown in iBooks is derived from the first <dc:subject> element in the epub's .OPF file. Use Sigil to edit the metadata in the original EPUB, or do an EPUB->EPUB conversion.

Finally my pdf's don't sync properly between calibre and iBooks. In Calibre they have the name entered in the metadata but on the iPad they have the filename. Because of this calibre never sees that I have them already on the device.

Create a ticket with a debug trace as described in the 'If you have problems ...' section of the first post in this thread.
