It is a real head-scratcher for me.
After no errors and completely running through all cycles, RepeatMasker finishes but there are no output files. The only trace of the analysis is the rmblastdb.log file in the RepeatMasker/Libraries directory which reads:

Adding sequences from FASTA; added 776 sequences in 0.108892 seconds.
Perhaps the makeblastdb "error" is harmless and maybe it is merely coincidental that my analysis fails. I don't see how either true ambiguities or line endings (as in a Unix to Mac or vice-versa) are the problem, as my database is hardly novel: I am using the RepBase update and the -species command. the command appears to work, as it creates the species specific library as well as the general library in the RepeatMasker/Libraries directory.
Does anyone know why RepeatMasker would run without throwing any errors and then leave no output files whatsoever?
