In the positions of your struct file there are some "rounding errors":

You should be able to find this from the error messages:

 > 'ROTDEF' - atomposition of jatom 0.3745698   0.7784930   0.3455791
 > 'ROTDEF' - atomposition of index 0.6254302   0.2215070   0.0955792

So look for these positions:

 > ATOM   1: X=0.37456984 Y=0.77849296 Z=0.34557914
 >            MULT= 4          ISPLIT= 8
 > ATOM   1: X=0.62543016 Y=0.22150704 Z=0.09557915  <--
 > ATOM   1: X=0.12543016 Y=0.27849296 Z=0.09557915  <--
 > ATOM   1: X=0.87456984 Y=0.72150704 Z=0.34557914

obviously, this should be always 14 (or 15), but not mixed.

The same occurs for atoms 25 and 26 !
