Hi Elsa,
For some reason, Artemis does the wrong thing with the setting of the
space group. According to your CIF file, the proper setting of the
space group is P 21/n. For some reason, when Artemis reads that CIF
file, it uses P 21/c as the space group symbol. That is strange
behavior -- I will have to investigate what is going on.
The work-around on the Atoms page in Artemis is to change the space
group to "P 21/n" before running feff. If you are using Atoms at the
command line, you will have to tell Atoms to write out an atoms.inp
file, edit that, then run feff. That's all a bit irritating, but it
is at least workable.
When I ran your cif file after specifying "P 21/n" on the Atoms page,
I got this for the first several neighbors:

That looks more like what you were expecting....

ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov rather than ifeffit-ow...@... Mail
to ifeffit-owner goes just to Matt and I rather than to the whole
