The mol2 file contains:

@<TRIPOS>CRYSIN
   9.88140   4.88480  12.02160  90.00000  90.49350  90.00000   14  1

OK, here's the deal: This is not enough information, at least for Jmol. 
Jmol doesn't have a full library of all the possible spacegroups AND 
setting options (14 1 here) and generally prefers Hall symbols. Note 
that the file does not include fractional coordinates, either. But you 
can still use the data. Just supply the needed information on the LOAD line:

load "t.mol2" {1 1 1} spacegroup "P21/c" unitcell {9.88140   4.88480  
12.02160  90.00000  90.49350  90.00000 }

or

load "t.mol2" {1 1 1} spacegroup "P 21/n 1 1" unitcell {9.88140   
4.88480  12.02160  90.00000  90.49350  90.00000 }


By the way, with this file the following wildcards may be of use:

connect; hide (?2*)

I tried a couple of space groups, and none of them work properly. Let me 
know if there is still something wrong with Jmol in this regard. Maybe 
an origin problem?
