Hi Giuseppe,
 not sure what's going on here. If could be that the first file in the folder 
is just a one-file series
and the others are associated to another series.
Just as a test, try deleting the first file in the series from the folder and 
reading the series
using vmtkimagereader -ifile MR010001002.dcm
Please send me the output again, we'll go from there.
Thanks!

Luca
