using phenix.refine is possible but not the best way of calculating a
map. In the example above you need to have main.number_of_macro_cycles=1
(not 0) otherwise you do not do bulk-solvent correction and anisotropic
scaling and therefore the map quality you will be getting will range
from poor to extremely poor. Also, export_final_f_model=mtz is not
really necessary: the maps will be generated automatically and output
into *.mtz file. And if you specify main.number_of_macro_cycles=1 you
also need to make sure that no refinement is going to happen by using
"strategy=none"
A more streightforward way of computing a map is to use the tool that is
specifically designed for doing this, phenix.maps:

Good luck!
