Hi all, I'm running VariantRecalibrator on a SNP set (47 exomes) and I get this error:

##### ERROR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
##### ERROR A USER ERROR has occurred (version 2.2-3-gde33222): 
##### ERROR The invalid arguments or inputs must be corrected before the GATK can proceed

##### ERROR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this is the command line:

    java -Djava.io.tmpdir=/lustre2/scratch/  -Xmx32g -jar /lustre1/tools/bin/GenomeAnalysisTK-2.2-3.jar \
    -T VariantRecalibrator \

    -U ALLOW_SEQ_DICT_INCOMPATIBILITY \
    --maxGaussians 6

I've already tried to decrease the --maxGaussians option to 4, I've also added --percentBad option (setting it up to 0.12, as for INDEL) but I still get the error. I've added the option -debug to see what's happening, but apparently this has been removed from GATK-2.2. Any help is appreciated... thanks
