Refinement of multiple conformations in CNS isn't very straightforward,
so I try to save it
until the end of refinement.  You probably forgot to edit your
refinement input files to tell
them that you have multiple conformations, eg:

{* select atoms in alternate conformation 1 *}
{===>} conf_1=(segid AC1);

{* select atoms in alternate conformation 2 *}
{===>} conf_2=(segid AC2);

hope this helps,
