Your cif-file contains coordinates, but as far as I could see it does not
contain bond lengths, and angles and their deviations. That is what coot
complains about.

Unless your cif-file describes a modified spermine you could use the
spermine already described in the refmac5 library:
In coot, go to the "File->Get Monomer" menu and enter the three letter
code SPM.

It should load a spermine together with geometric restrains (have a look
at $CLIB/data/monomers/s/SPM.cif to compare with your cif-file and see
that it contains bond length information etc.).
