Does the calculation not actually complete or is this the only
warning? This warning message (not an error) is to let you know that
once your system has been rotated it is no longer in alignment with
the original unit cell, hence any subsequent imaging operation will be
incorrect. As long as you don't plan on doing any imaging (or
calculating imaged distances etc) after the RMS-fit everything should
be fine. This warning has been put in explicitly because people would
occasionally try to image after rms-fitting and then wonder why they
ended up with weird artifacts in the resulting systems.
Hope this helps,
