When calculating the RDF the order in which you specify masks matters.
In general, you want the first mask to be the one containing more
entities, so in this case you probably want the order to be ':DBR :1'
(see the manual for further details).

Looks like you might be missing a space between ':1.C' and :DBR (as it
is it is not a valid mask). Also, as above, you probably want ':DBR
:1.C'.

Again, you need a space between :1 and :DBR. In that case it is the
same as the first command.

Hope this helps,
