[Wien] C2/m (#SG 12) space group structure

I think your struct file will be okay if you select for the lattice in 
StructGen spacegroup 12_B2/m instead of CXZ, and of course, use setrmt 
again after changing to 12_B2/m.

Sure, you should be able to specify 'all' the atomic positions in the 
general CXZ lattice to get the same structure.  However, it should be 
much easier to specify just the inequivalent positions in the 12_B2/m 
spacegroup and let StructGen generate the equivalent positions for you.
