Are you sure you are using the latest version of cpptraj (16)? I get
reference mask output whether I use 'first' or 'reference':

```
ACTION SETUP FOR PARM 'tz2.truncoct.parm7' (3 actions):
  0: [rms Res2-11 first :2-11 out rmsd.dat]
        Target mask: [:2-11](182)
        Reference mask: [:2-11](182)
Warning: Coordinates are being rotated and box coordinates are present.
Warning: Unit cell vectors are NOT rotated; imaging will not be possible
Warning: after the RMS-fit is performed.
  1: [rms Res2-11_mass reference :2-11 out rmsd.mass.dat mass]
        Target mask: [:2-11](182)
        Reference mask: [:2-11](182)
Warning: Coordinates are being rotated and box coordinates are present.
Warning: Unit cell vectors are NOT rotated; imaging will not be possible
Warning: after the RMS-fit is performed.
