Several questions: did you try to start the omit map GUI with refinement.eff as a command-line argument, or did you add it to the list of input files along with the model and data?  If the latter, did you make sure to change the file type to "Refine config"?  If so, could you please send me (not the list) the file autobuild.eff in the output directory?

This will definitely not work - the twin law parameter is only for phenix.refine, but AutoBuild only processes its own set of parameters.  You need to set the parameter that tells AutoBuild to pass refinement.eff to phenix.refine, i.e.:

phenix.autobuild data.mtz model.pdb omit.eff input_files.refine_eff_file_list=/path/to/refinement.eff

or edit omit.eff and change the parameter there:

autobuild {
  ...
  input_files {
    ...
    refine_eff_file_list = "/path/to/refinement.eff"
  }
  ...
}

But I still think it should work in the GUI - at least in 1.6.  Tom, would it be straightforward to add the twin law to the AutoBuild parameters so it can be specified directly as done for simulated annealing, instead of using extra config files?  (Even better would be an option to set the twin law automatically as required after AutoBuild runs xtriage.)
