Yes, please do download the latest PHENIX version and run ReadySet! again.  To ensure that the ASG-GCU complex is handled correctly, you should put in the CONECT records into the PDB file that link the two "residues" in your ligand complex together.  This is a rather complex example and I'd be interested in seeing your PDB file.

Thank you Nigel,
However, your cif file did not help with the problem (carboxylate is not 
planar) when using the PHENIX 1.4-3 version that we have now. You 
mentioned 2 newer versions of phenix, 1.4-4 and 1.4-6. Do I need to get 
them both? By the way, phenix.ready_set (in our current version) screwed 
up all hydrogens in my other ligand (trimer of ASG-GCU).  I think that 
the ready.set needs to know that the monomers are linked.  With this 
particular ligand that is a hexamer, ASG is in the library, but GCU is 
not. Should I give a cif_link file for the ready.set, too? After I get a 
newer version of phenix, I 'll try it again.

Using PHENIX 1.4-4 and 1.4-6, eLBOW generates a CIF with 4 planar 
groups including the carboxyl group missing from the earlier PHENIX 
version I believe you used.  I have attached it.  There are a few 
other things I should mention.

I used a tool called ReadySet!

phenix.ready_set model.pdb

which will generate (using eLBOW) CIF files for all the ligands in the 
model using the data from the Chemical Components database from the 
PDB.  I would recommend that you use ReadySet! for preparing a PDB 
file for refinement.  It also adds hydrogens to your model which is 
usually a good thing.

Your example does have some nuances.  You mention that it is 
covalently bound to the CYS.  I have attached the two additional files 
needed to inform phenix.refine of the covalent bond.  I used eLBOW 
directly for this but will ensure that ReadySet! will do the same 
function in the next release.

An additional function that I have been working on recently is the 
removal of the hydrogen in a carboxyl group when the ligand is in the 
model.  I shall have that in the next PHENIX release.

Finally, I did a refinement using dummy reflection data and the 
carboxyl group remained planar.

If you have any problems with any of the files, feel free to contact 
me directly.
