Skip the reference for now, try rms first... I think reference only reads
PDB.

Why such a large disparate set of residues? Perhaps center :2112-2210 ?

You want to image *all* residues, not just those you chose... The center
chooses where atoms are imaged around, then you want to move all residues
not just those in that selection... Try,

center :2212 mass origin
image origin center familiar
rms first out 1fm9_fareqbr.rmsd
