Then it's clear what the problem is: whichever program created your file put the wrong space group number in (or copied it from an input file). For I2 it must be '4005' not '5', no question. This is the number found in the $CLIBD/syminfo.lib entry under 'symbol ccp4': begin_spacegroup number 5

Not sure if this is relevant, but all clipper programs (and I think all programs wince 6.0) take the symmetry operators as the source for the spacegroup rather than the spacegroup symbol. So I would expect changing the spacegroup number or symbol would not affect most programs in any way.

mtz2various seems to get the symm info correctly from the header using LRSYMI but then it calls MSYMLB3 using the SG number '5' (and the correct name 'I121') which will cause the SG name and the symm ops to be overwritten with the wrong ones (i.e. those for 'C2'). Again the problem here is that

In fact it's not quite true to say that the symm ops are used as the definitive source of space group information in all circumstances: where the SG info is read from some types of file (e.g. MTZ header), but by no means all (e.g. PDB files don't contain symm ops), then it appears that at least in
