In reality, it's not a single series, but two different ones.
One is called The Vampire Diaries, by Anne Rice, and the other is The vampire diaries, by L. J. Smith, with a lowercase v.
Calibre can't differentiate between Vampire Diaries and vampirics. To him, it's all the same, either one or the other, but all the same, when in reality it could allow the V and the v to be different things.
Calibre does this in the title column because it makes sense that there should be a word that can be either uppercase or lowercase. Why not in the Series titles so we can call one The Vampire Diaries and the other The vampire diaries?
Your friend has the series name wrong for Anne Rice. The correct series is Vampire Chronicles. Once he fixes the series for Anne Rice, he'll be OK.
