Dear Thibault,

This message means that the mass as calculated for your the shuffled
peptide with PTMs is not matching to the recorded mass in the pepXML file.
Without looking at the file I cannot tell the exact source of the problem.
If you can send me a link to your results and data I can take a more in
depth look.  However, I am currently on vacation and will not be able to
take a look at this until Friday.  It is possible that the pepXML file from
Tandem is not properly encpding static mods, which would explain the large
mass differences reported in the error message.  If you can send the exact
error message and the pepXML snippet for the particular PSM I might be able
to say more without having the dataset.

Thanks,
-David
