play with the following [http://xds.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/html_doc/xds_parameters.html parameters], and use GNUPLOT (see below) to find their influence:
IDXREF depends on the reflection positions stored in SPOT.XDS . This file is written by COLSPOT, and its contents can be visualized e.g. with GNUPLOT:
plot "SPOT.XDS" using 1:2
Obviously, only if the true reflection pattern is represented well by SPOT.XDS can IDXREF be successful. So, play with the following [http://xds.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/html_doc/xds_parameters.html parameters], and use GNUPLOT to find their influence:

For close reflections, you may want to reduce SEPMIN below its default of 6, and set CLUSTER_RADIUS to half of the new value.
