Thanks a lot Nat  , I will manually edit the ncs.params file to add the correct syntax for the ncs group

Also thanks for the tips on checking and editing the *.eff file before running.
Once you have a patched nightly , I will switch to that build..

Thanks again
Hari

Aha - the problem is that the parameters I'm getting from the NCS group editor are incomplete.  The file it writes out will look like this:

restraint_group {
       reference = "chain A and resseq 1:100"
       selection = "chain B and resseq 1:100"
       coordinate_sigma = 0.05
       b_factor_weight = 10
}

It needs the fully qualified "path" of the restraint_group section, however.  Edit ncs.params to look like this:

refinement.ncs {
restraint_group {
  [snip]
}
}

That should fix the problem (and I'll see if we can get a patched installer built ASAP).  Sorry, I think I broke this last month attempting to repair something else.
