gcRMA: problem compute.affinities.local on gngnf1musa

Hello list,

In *Schuster et al. 2007 (http://genomebiology.com/2007/8/6/R125) a 
method is presented allowing to correct *MAS5 present/absent calls based 
on gcRMA transformed PM threshold values.
The R script is available in sup data at 
http://genomebiology.com/content/supplementary/gb-2007-8-6-r125-s1.txt

When trying to run it on my data I am faced to an error:
 > data
AffyBatch object
size of arrays=854x854 features (11 kb)
cdf=gnGNF1Musa (36182 affyids)
number of samples=16
number of genes=36182
annotation=gngnf1musa
notes= 
 >  ai <- compute.affinities.local(data, Array=NULL)
Adjusting for optical effect................Done.
Computing base-position profiles for probe affinitiesErreur dans 
complementSeq(seqs, start = 13, stop = 13) :
Character N does not code for a nucleic acid.

I tried with other platforms (e.g. mgu74av2) and this works.
So I guess this is due to an error in the annotation package gngnf1musa.
I installed this package (custom array affymetrix) made available by Cei 
Abreu-Goodger 
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.science.biology.informatics.conductor/13659) 
at ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/cei/gngnf1_R_packages.tar.gz
What can be wrong?

Thanks Jim for this clear explanation.
I will contact the authors of the method to get their comments on using 
compute.affinities() instead of compute.affinities.local()
Regards,
Julien
