Two things I think
1) I is a metal so you need to move the atom name 1 space to the left - more like this: ATOM 2838 O HOH W 102 6.018 39.720 31.127 1.00 21.43 O ATOM 2839 I I B 1 19.956 22.770 18.597 1.00 30.00 I

And the monomer library calls this IOD so I guess you need

ATOM 2838 O HOH W 102 6.018 39.720 31.127 1.00 21.43 O ATOM 2839 I IOD B 1 19.956 22.770 18.597 1.00 30.00 I

            Dear All,

            I am having trouble with refmac dictionaries when refining
            a structure that contains an iodine ion.
            the PDB entry should be correct and according to the
            convention (water added for comparison):

            refmac hovever comes up with the following error:

            I figured that it tries to read the wrong dictionary
            (although the correct one ( I.cif) is present in the same
            directory). Explicitly supplying I.cif with a LIB_IN card
            does not help

            thanks for your help

            PS:probably this has been on the bb in the past, but I
            could not dig it out
