Thanks for the insights from everyone.
It was the incorrect settings for the cellBasisVectors that had caused the
warnings I got (i.e. not all atoms have unique coordinates). I set the
vectors x,y,z to be the slightly bigger than the length of the bounding
water box as suggested and the warnings disappear.
Thanks,
shirley
