Dear Andrew,

I'll distribute this to the list as a warning.

Your linear model was

gfw10 cfw10 ~ Trait Tr.line Tr.damage Tr.brtype,
 !r Tr.animal Tr.dam !f Tr.flock


Looking through the list of factors printed out in the .asr file
(after the reported error) I notice that Tr.dam is not included.
This is because it is confused with Tr.damage.

When ASREML finds a factor name, it first checks if it matches something it 
knows.  Here it Tr.dam  matches Tr.damage.  
So it inserts  Tr.damage into the model again
[then drops it when it realizes it is repeated].

Hence  Factor structure does not fit G-structure because Tr.dam is missing.


Solution  :  retype  dam as Dam

or insert  -Tr.dam   before  Tr.damage

So that  Tr.dam is defined first.  Tr.damage will not match Tr.dam.

This is subtle
