That is probably due to some fssp entries which are not conforming to
the
correct format, and srs fails to pick up the id. Try:

  id:        ~ {$In:[fields c:pdbid] $Out pre $Skip:1} 
                x {$Wrt:[c:id s:$JobFile.name:name]} ~

as production for your id fields - so at least you will get an id for
those files. (Not that also all kinds of other indexing errors may occur
with those files - but at least srscheck will no longer complain)

Cheers,

Martin
