dan,

please upload you example files to the VMD BioFS on biocore.
there is a special directory for testfiles. just create your own subdirectory
and upload the files and then send another message to vmd-l.

there are a number of possible reasons for that.
impossible to say without seeing the file(s), though.

what linux version exactly are you using?
what program has written those files? are they
fully pdb standard conformant?
