If I set my Autobind to 5 instead of 4, it works great (4 was just the standard number for most of the manga I have, but there are weird exeptions like Solanin and Air gear).
If you can post a screenshot of the contents of the output_folder (just open it up in a file manager, maximize the window, and hit printscreen) maybe I'll get a better idea of what's going on. You can use a free image upload service like http://imageshack.us/ to upload the screenshot and pm me the link.

Create an empty text file in parent_folder and name it bind.txt. Each line of the bind file will have a single integer on it representing how many folders will be bound in that binding. The binding is done on all folders in output_folder in alphabetical order. Here's an example:
Let's say I have 20 chapters of School Rumble. There are named School_Rumble_1, School_Rumble_2, ..., School_Rumble_20. If you use auto binding with a size of 5, then you should get the following bindings:
Code:
Binding 1: (first 5 folders)
School_Rumble_1
...
School_Rumble_5

Binding 2: (next 5 folders)
School_Rumble_6
...
School_Rumble_10

... you get the idea. Each successive binding will have the next auto_bind_size number of folders in it.
Let's say I have the same 20 chapters of School Rumble and make a bind.txt file with the following contents:
Code:
3
4
13
In this case, I will get the bindings:
Code:
Binding 1: (the first 3 folders)
School_Rumble_1
School_Rumble_2
School_Rumble_3

Binding 2: (the next 4 folders)
School_Rumble_4
...
School_Rumble_7

Binding 3: (the next 13 folders)
School_Rumble_8
...
School_rumble_20
Does that make sense? Unlike auto binding, a bind file allows you to manually specify the size of each binding. I've attached a bind file that I use for my School Rumble collection. It includes comments that make it easier to read, and you may want use the same style as a bind file can get complicated if you have a lot of chapters to bind yet each line is simply an integer.
