Yes ... there is a bug in EMBOSS 3.0.0 in reading multiple set of ailgnments 
in phylip format. This only afects the phylipnew programs (no other program is 
trying to read more than one alignment as input).

Removing the blank line between alignments fixes the problem.

This will be fixed in the next release. f you ru this kind of analysis often 
we can provide a patch for EMBOSS 3.0.0

Hope that helps,
