Oh, I guess I did not actually try it with your file. I didn't realize it
was a complete model!

Ah, that's a problem! Well, I can tell you why that is. Jmol presumes that
a PDB file is a protein and saves hugely on processing by assuming that
there are no special positions. Therefore it does not check to see if atoms
are on top of each other after symmetry transformations. But in your case
this isn't really a PDB file, it's an inorganic crystal file.

You sure you don't want to use CIF format -- like everyone else ;) ?

I have an idea, though. Let me think about this....

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.
