Dear Manu Hedge,
from a first inspection to your input file:
- as the name of the variable and the documentation say, cosAB, cosAC and cosBC are the cosines of the angles and not the angle in degrees, and as such must be a number between -1 and 1
- do you really need to specify nr1, nr2, nr3, nr1s, nr2s, nr3s?

Best,
Giovanni

see here:

and if this is not your case, go into the fortran code and figure
out why the code finds more than 24 symmetry operations. Since you
did not provide any of the needed info (an input file, code version,
tests etc: you didn't read the posting guidelines, did you?) you
do not deserve more help than this
