Good morning CCP4 members

I have a question about a 2F0-Fc difference map that I calculated with Refmac. 
In some instances it gives me negative (red) density around part of a side 
chain and no positive density in sight. Furthermore the entire residue fits 
well into the blue density of the complete map, including the part with 
negative density. 

I am struggling to interpret this. Does the fact that it fits the blue density 
mean that the side chain is in the correct place or does the red blob on part 
of the side chain (eg on the sulphur in a Met residue) mean that something 
funky is happening with this side chain?

Thanks for any assistance
