So for the Jules Verne Omnibus, the 'Send to Device' might generate the following:
../BOOKS/FICTION/SCIENCE-FICTION/JULES, VERNE/Jules-Verne-Omnibus.epub
../BOOKS/FICTION/CLASSICS/JULES, VERNE/Jules-Verne-Omnibus.epub
Is this result possible using the subitems function? Is anyone aware of some way of avoiding the duplication? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

You cannot create more than one path for a given book within one save operation. The only way to create the duplicates is to do multiple save operations using different templates.
You can do this sort of thing with Sony collections, but to the best of my knowledge the Nook Color does not support something equivalent.

Even just getting the books to sort into merely FICTION or NON-FICTION directories would be an improvement.

If you can guarantee that a book never appears in more than one top-level genre, then the following template will do it.
Code:
{#genre:subitems(0,1)||/}{author}/{title}
However, if it is possible that a book can have more than one top-level genre, such as Japanese.History and Military.History, then the above template will produce "Japanese, Military". This may or may not be what you want.
In the end, you need to decide what you want for all the possible cases, taking into account how your data will evolve. It may turn out that the simplest thing to do is to add another column (text, not tags-like) in which you manually enter the folder name to be used on the device.
