Phenyx search results can only be processed with the semi-parametric
modeling based on decoys.  Judging from name of your database, it does
have decoys in there.  Now you must tell PeptideProphet to use the
semi-parametric model with xinteract option -OP and the decoy tag that
all your decoy proteins begin with using xinteract flag e.g. -dDECOY
if all your decoys proteins begin with DECOY.  You can also use option
-Od to have PeptideProphet assign non-zero probabilities to the decoy
hits.
