Oh dear - you should always start refinement against the original processed data - but others have told you that already..
The TLS files will not be appropriate for the rescaled FPs - it is surprising that the Rfactor actually goes down though! Or are you doing several cycles of refinement in thesecond pass too - in that case one would hope the Rfactor would continue to fall.
