On the interface under Refinement Parameters there are three options
1) Use if present
2) Do not use
3) Generate all

if you are using script then default is generate all (add them riding 
positions). You can switch to other options:

make hydr all    # generate all - default option
make hydr yes # use if present in the file
make hydr no   # do not use


Controlling output

make hout yes  #   write hydrogens to the output file
make hout no   #   do not write - default optoon


I hope it helps
