What version of PHENIX do you have?

I would recommend using a SMILES string as input to eLBOW if possible.  
In the latest version you can use

phenix.elbow --chemical-components FMN

to run the SMILES string for FMN from the PDB Chemical Components 
database.  It even uses the correct atom names.

In older versions you can get SMILES string from the MSDChem website.  
For FMN its

Cc1cc2c(cc1C)N(C3=NC(=O)NC(=O)C3=N2)CC(C(C(COP(=O)(O)O)O)O)O

Cheers

Nigel
