Your bibliography generated in latex is generated by bibtex. This program does not care about your BibDesk preferences. How the bibliography is formatted depends entirely on the style you're using, in your case jurabib. If you just want to keep the series information in BibDesk and want to have it ignored, you can either change the bibtex style (which usually is hard), or move the information to another field that's ignored by bibtex. An AppleScript would be well suited for that (I think there's one doing this linked on the Wiki).
