Also, there are no custom column entries for ". Clarke", ". Castle", ". Koontz", ". Crichton", and ". Alten". Hmmm. I believe those are all related to the five collections that don't begin with the ". ". For some reason, the plug-in is splitting up a collection name like ". Alten, Steve" and creating ".Alten" and "Steve" collections in addition to the existing ". Alten, Steve" collection.
That my theory, anyway.

Is your custom column a Comma separated text field, and do those 5 names have commas in them? If so, its calibre splitting the names into 2 values and sending them to the plugin as 2 values. Use a Text field without commas instead.
I'll need to write up something about Import Collections about using it to control your collections. Its a nice way to see what you have on your Kindle, but it can also be used along with Create Collections, and I can see its confusing what you should do. Basically once you import, treat it like any other custom column and as jesscat said, if you want to auto-create collections on the Kindle using the values in the column, setup Customize to put 'Create' as the action for that custom column and leave the others blank. Then update your column manually whenever you want, and run Create Collections.
