This sounds like the classic "exploding hydrogens" problem.  You
should update to the latest version of Coot (possibly one of the
nightly builds), which has the new hydrogen definitions which are more
compatible with Phenix.

We can't answer this accurately without knowing more about what atoms
it complains about.  Normally this indicates that restraints are
missing, but it's possible this is related to the problem with
hydrogen atoms.
