KDP categories change request. DENIED!

Has anyone else had this happen?
I emailed kdp to ask them to add my book to a category that a.)doesn't seem to be accessible from the bisac categories, and b.)I've successfully submitted to before. They write back with:

"Regarding the other category "Kindle Store › Kindle eBooks › Science Fiction & Fantasy › Fantasy › Series," at this time, this exact category is not available and cannot be added. So please add another available category or if you want to add this category ""Kindle Store › Kindle eBooks › Science Fiction & Fantasy › Fantasy," you can write back to us."

It's a rather granular category, i.e., only around 500 or so books, so are they saving it for special authors? I see a bunch of KB authors in there, and as I said I have one in there as well. Do you think they were concerned about my book belonging in that category? It is fantasy, and it is part of a series (though the rest of the series exists only as notes....), so I don't see how that could be the reason. ???

Any ideas?

Try again when you have more than just one book available in the series, that's why you were turned down.
My other book made it into that category just fine, and it is the first (and only finished) book of a series. Huh, maybe that one just slipped through by accident.
Just try again, you may get someone willing to add it.
