FFDL doesn't try to detect matching title/author if you give it the URLs at the same time. It only compares the URLs themselves (so it doesn't download exactly the same thing more than once) and against what's already in the library.

You have more than one book already in your library with the same identifier or the same title/author. FFDL doesn't have any way to know which one you mean to up date, so it bails out.
Instead, update by identical URL, or by explicitly selecting the book. If you really want a third version of the same title/author, use 'Add New' instead of update.
Using matching title/author to indicate the same story from different sites
and allowing different stories with the same title/author at the same time is inevitably going to cause problems--the two ideas are fundamentally in conflict.
