Your struct file is not ok. All lines defining the atoms are wrong and
shifted to the rigth by one character.

Cr1         NPT=  781  R0=0.00010000 RMT=    2.0000   Z: 2   
     | delete one blank here !

I don't think it is the fault of sgroup, but your original struct file had
already this error.
