I second that. Incorrect space group assignment usually causes this
behaviour of having R and R-free stuck at very high values. It is useful
to go back to the data processing stage and carefully consider all
Bravais lattices (and associated space groups) that the autoindexing
routine finds consistent with your diffraction data frames.
