deal.II tries to match all faces of cells with faces of other cells. If it 
can't find a matching face, then it marks it as external. My best guess is 
that you got the numbering of vertices in each cell wrong (e.g. in counter 
clockwise sense, rather than lexicographic, if this were in 2d). You can check 
this by just creating a single cell and plotting it in gnuplot -- if the 
numbering is wrong you'll see that it is distorted.
