John -- Thank you for your quick response.

The commands -t and --skip-indels were used because I was originally
outputting to vcd, but I subsequently verified that the problem was at the
level of mpileup output. Yes, working with human -- hg19. I will check on
the two things that you mention, but the mtDNA.fasta file used to align, in
the faidx command, and in the mpileup command is in fact the exact same one
in the same location. I will get back with more details and thanks again.

Jacob
