Hi, I'm not sure whether it's related to the error you're seeing but as far as I know, in order for refmac to do mixed B-refinement (that is Biso and Baniso) you have to set yourself by editing (!!) the incoming pdb such that whichever atoms you'd like to have Biso refined should have only Biso in the input file. I suggested a while ago that this be fixed to become more elegant (say by specifying range of residues in the gui) but apparently it still works only the old way.
