Are the chains numbered differently?
the SUPERPOSE LSQ program requires you to specify which residues to 
superpose.

And any RMS is wildly distorted by a few outliers..
Look at the list of > average differences to see if you have such a problem.

 The SSM superposition excludes outliers automatically.
