I'm intrigued to know where it says the member number is optional, as both the html and pdf indicate it as required (position and value are optional). I've always put one in, so maybe it works without it and I just didn't know that.
Anyway, I think you are simply running out of memory. Series are imported as a whole, so there must be room for every item to fit from each file. The advantage of series imports is that you can find the min-max of the entire series which can set ranges for colormaps, etc. So if you cannot load the whole series, you may have to run a preprocessing net that opens each series member one at a time, derives the min and max and stores it in a temporary value (see the Help on GetGlobal-SetGlobal). Then after you have these values, you can open each file for processing, again, one member at a time, process it, colorize it, etc. and write out an image file for animating with another program, like imageMagick or Quicktime or whatever you have. If you look at Import parameters, you see that you can specify which member(s) to open. These numbers can be driven by the Sequencer to automate the process. Or buy more memory. Open the Message Window and choose Commands>Show Memory Use to get a handle on how much memory is being consumed as you run DX. (You have to do it manually each time you want to know). Try stripping down your series file to contain only 3-4 members, load it, examine memory. Then add more members to the file, Reset Server to clear the cached imported file, run DX again, etc. At some point (some number of members), you'll see that available memory has been exceeded during the Import.
