maybe the answer is even simpler :
the 'big' structure is in case_super.struct.  So you'd have to copy that file to case.struct before you run init.

	For sure you have a reason why you want to use a supercell (introducing an
	impurity, a vacancy, an interstitial, ...). After 'x supercell' you have to
	put e.g. the impurity in the cell (which breaks the symmetry). If not,
	sgroup will detect that your supercell contains more atoms than needed, and
	will reduce it to the smaller cell again.
