Either you are accessing the "wrong" matrix to set this value or at a later time the given matrix is set to MATMFFD. If you are getting the matrix in your SNES compute Jacobian code make sure you set the value for the first mat argument, not the second. Are you using a command line argument -snes_mf_operator? Or some other command line argument to use mffd?
