I am a new user to ABINIT and I need help with selecting the correct values
for variables in my input file. I have gone through the tutorials but require
extra help. I am doing a total energy calculation on glycine. Below is my
input file. The cell dimension values I have used come directly from the CIF
file [E.V. Boldyreva, T.N. Drebushchak, E.S. Shutova, Z.Kristallogr.,
2003.218:p.366]. The job runs and I know that the space group is 14 (P21/n)
but I get the comment below. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

symanal : COMMENT -
The Bravais lattice determined only from the primitive
vectors, bravais(1)= 2, is more symmetric
than the real one, iholohedry= 1, obtained by taking into
account the atomic positions.
symspgr : the symmetry operation no. 1 is the identity
symspgr : spgroup= 1 P1 (=C1^1)
inkpts: Sum of 1 k point weights is 1.000000
