ups I forgot something here, sorry...
The default GAMESS algo. used in geom. opt. for metal complexes is not used when
executing R.E.D.-II/III. This is has been carried out to get indentical results
using either Gaussian or GAMESS.
For more information, please see R.E.D.-II manual page 16
and in R.E.D.-II line 510, you might prefer to use:
if ($TestL4a == 1){ print JOB1_FILE "COORD=UNIQUE \$END\n"; }
instead of
if ($TestL4a == 1){ print JOB1_FILE "ISPHER=1 COORD=UNIQUE \$END\n"; }

oh oh here I do not understand you "all processes have ended gracefully" is
checked by R.E.D.-I and "EXECUTION OF GAMESS TERMINATED NORMALLY" by R.E.D.-II
This means you modified R.E.D.-I or I am lost ;-)
Finally using the message generated by ddikick might mot be a good idea or at
least not compatible with all the machines since I heared some machines do not
use ddikick; see R.E.D.-II manual page 8
