Hi Joel

IF you use external restraints then you need to add type 0 at the end. Then 
refmac will assume that you want to override standard restraints. I.e.
exte angle first chain A resi 1 atom S12 second chain A resi 1 atom C10 third 
chain A resi 2 atom N value 120 sigma 3.0 type 0

It is very strange that refmac is overriding definitions from your cif file. 
Would it be possible to have a look your cif file and how use it in refmac. For 
example some portion of your protein with cif file might be helpful.

Regards
Garib
