Stuart,
Empty PDB files can result from writing a file while PyMOL's global state
number is set to a numerical state that does not actually contain the
coordinates. Note that by default, single state objects are displayed in
all states (unless static_singletons is disabled), which can cause some
confusion.
If this is the cause of your problem, then make sure that [ 1/ ... is
displayed in the lower-right hand corner before saving.
Cheers,
Warren
