Error in IlluminaBasecallsToSam.jar

[kga1978]

Hi All,

I run the following command

java -Xmx2g -Dsnappy.disable=true -jar /idi/sabeti-scratch/kandersen/bin/picard/IlluminaBasecallsToSam.jar BASECALLS_DIR=/broad/hptmp/andersen/130130.C1E4YACXX/Data/Intensities/BaseCalls/ LANE=5 READ_STRUCTURE=101T8B101T LIBRARY_PARAMS=/idi/sabeti-data/kandersen/analysis/130130_sarah_rerun/_logs/library_params.txt SEQUENCING_CENTER=Broad RUN_BARCODE=C1E4YACXX NUM_PROCESSORS=4 ADAPTERS_TO_CHECK=PAIRED_END MAX_READS_IN_RAM_PER_TILE=100000 MAX_RECORDS_IN_RAM=100000 FORCE_GC=false

but I keep getting the following error:

I have tried different versions of the program, with and without 'snappy' and checked that all the required files are there (e.g. library_params.txt) and point to the correct directories, etc. Everything appears to be correct.

Before this command I extract barcodes using:

java -Xmx2g -jar /seq/software/picard/1.465/bin/ExtractIlluminaBarcodes.jar BASECALLS_DIR=/broad/hptmp/andersen/130130.C1E4YACXX/Data/Intensities/BaseCalls/ LANE=5 READ_STRUCTURE=101T8B101T BARCODE_FILE=/idi/sabeti-data/kandersen/analysis/130130_sarah_rerun/_logs/barcodeData.5 METRICS_FILE=/idi/sabeti-data/kandersen/analysis/130130_sarah_rerun/_logs/barcode.metrics.txt MAX_MISMATCHES=0 MINIMUM_BASE_QUALITY=25 NUM_PROCESSORS=1

which completes and generates bar-code files correctly (as far as I can tell).

Any ideas what is going on here?

Thanks
