Maybe some algorithms in eden have special requirements? In general I don't see
what is wrong with the cell.

You could transform the cell to make eden happy:

% iotbx.lattice_symmetry --unit_cell="53.030   71.963   27.926  98.63 104.39 
74.57" p

...

Symmetry in minimum-lengths cell: P -1 (No. 2)
      Input minimum-lengths cell: (27.926, 53.03, 71.963, 74.57, 81.37, 75.61)
           Symmetry-adapted cell: (27.926, 53.03, 71.963, 74.57, 81.37, 75.61)
            Conventional setting: P -1 (No. 2)
                       Unit cell: (27.926, 53.03, 71.963, 74.57, 81.37, 75.61)
                 Change of basis: z,-x,-y
                         Inverse: -y,-z,x
      Maximal angular difference: 0.000 degrees


The change-of-basis matrix z,-x,-y transforms fractional coordinates from the
old unit cell to the new one ("Unit cell" above). You also have to reindex your
dataset(s) using the inverse transpose. You could use CCP4 reindex for this, or
iotbx.reflection_file_converter in phenix (use --change-of-basis=z,-x,-y).

Cheers,
