Please check your positions in the struct file. In a hexagonal lattice one
has often coordinates like 1/3 or 2/3. When you specify this only as 0.33333
or 0.66666 the application of symmetry can / cannot dedect whether they are
equivalent or not.
Please use full accuracy (i.e. all available digits in case.struct, or enter
these positions as 1/3,... in w2web).
