Sure, as I noted below, you can use the NCprobes argument to point to 
the negative control probes on the chip. I have no idea if these exist 
on the remapped cdf - it's up to you to figure that part out.

Best,

Jim

RMA didn't work either, but in this case, it seems to be that the RMA script is looking for a CDF file called 'mogene11stv1cdf' instead.  Once again, anyone else with this issue or suggestions for a fix?
