I think the space-group and cell are missing: It should be something like: (transform-map imol rotation-matrix trans point radius space-group cell)
i.e. in your example, say: (transform-map 13 (list 0.9956 -0.08709 -0.03537 -0.08702 -0.9962 0.003531 -0.03554 -0.0004371 -0.9994) (list 1.235 1.005 0.1625) (list 11.6806 -8.6401 -14.960) 10 "P 21 21 21" (list 45 100 39 90 90 90)) or some such. But are you sure you actually need this? -- Extensions->Maps->Transform map by LSQ does something similar... JED.
