[phenixbb] phenix.xtriage says that entire res range contains anomalous signal but chart says differently?

Sounds like you killed the signal during collection.  Radiation damage 
is the most common cause of (probable) failure of SAD experiments (see 
e.g. James Holton's analyses). 

Try using fewer images of your dataset, that might help.  And look at 
B-factor decay in scaling, if it's more than 5A**2, you're almost 
certainly screwed (but no guarantees if it's less.)
