Where are you expecting to see the series numbers?

This just names the file. Unless you can browse the folder structure of the 900 this will not affect the way the book info is viewed in any of the menus. The same can be said about the 600, 300 and 505.

I'm not sure why you are even going this route. I use the Automatic management feature of calibre under Preferences - Add/save - Send to device tab and my books in a series are always in order under the appropriate collection.
