Which stereocenters are randomized? Usually, stereochemistry is
specified by the improper dihedral angle energy term, and if it's not
correct, it usually means that one or more impropers is missing. I see
that your script does not use the standard Xplor-NIH parameter values,
so this may be an issue. Also, after you load coordinates with

protocol.initCoords('aS_k2c4_psfgen.pdb')

you call 

protocol.genExtendedStructure(maxFixupIters=1000)

which does randomize the coordinates. You might leave this line out if
you wish to keep some characteristics of your input structure.

best regards--
