Of course only for the first of each inequivalent atoms. The rest can be 
produced by symmetry, see eg. case.output2 or the case.rotlm file)

Probably it works. I've probably never had a loc.rot. in a hexagonal 
system, but I think both matrices (from qtl and locrot) are in 
carthesian coordinates. (I'm not sure if you need to transpose the 
matrix, but there is a comment in qtlmain.f saying this matrix is 
written as in case.struct).

In any case, I' try this also out using simpler transformations in case.inq.

You can test this by comparing the qtl files from x qtl and x lapw2 -qtl

Do you really want the z-axis pointing into the hexagonal 111 direction ??
It seems strange to me: You put the magnetization direction into 001, 
but want z in 111 ?

This is obviously the reciprocal Bravais matrix  ( eg. Z: 2 pi/24 ~= 0.25)
and the other matrices transform the equivalent atoms into the first one.

It is obviously real space. The hexagonal real space axis are defined 
such that the cart. y and hex. b axis coincide and there is a 120 degree 
angle.
PS: Both real and rec. bravais matrices are printed in several output 
files ....
