Hi Chen,
my apologies for the late reply, somehow I managed to overlook your
email.. Ok, here it is (better late than never!):

HA sites may be partially occupied. Try this for HA with high B: set
occupancy of HA to some number less than 1 and reset B to mean B, then
run phenix.refine (make sure occupancy refinement is enables, which is
the default).
If this does not help then please send me files and I will have a closer
look.
