Quick reply (it's a very busy day :_)

 From memory, SRS has a problem with PIR formatted databases. It does 
not report the entry in a format that EMBOSS recognizes (try getz -e to 
see what the entry looks like).

You may find the SRSFASTA methodquery works better (use format fasta).

Hope this helps - if not, ask me again!!!
