Hi Oliv,

I now see the problem... It is a bug in phenix.refine that we fixed 
sometime ago and the next PHENIX release will have it.

If you go into your .def file and replace "minimization_b_cart = False" 
with "minimization_b_cart = True" that will fix the problem.

If you see something like this in future, always make sure that 
"minimization_b_cart = True" in your input parameter file.

Please let me know if this helped or if you have any other problems.

Pavel.
