He will reply here. He is in Finland, and hopefully getting a good night's rest

Which ".fds" file you are trying to run? And which version of
FDS are you using? You should use FDS 5.2.1 or later.

Thanks. I've just upgraded to 5.2.4 and it appears to work now (it didn't within
5.2.0 and 5.2.1).

There are some input keyword, which are changed, see the
latest manual:
http://virtual.vtt.fi/virtual/proj6/fdsevac/documents/FDS+EVAC_5_Guide.pdf
For example EVAC-namelist:
AVATAR_COLOR Color of the agents seen in Smokeview if COLOR_METHOD=0. See
the FDS User’s Guide and FDS web page for the list of available color names.
Older verions used "QUANTITY=RED", for example. Also older version had
"EVAC_MESH", which is now "MESH_ID". The new version should be able
to read the old input files, but the old version can not read the
new files.
One big change is that the present version can have thin OBSTs
in the evacuation calculation. The old version was always
assuming THICKEN=.TRUE. for the evacuation meshes, i.e., OBSTs
were at least one grid cell thick.
See the chapter:
1.3 Most recent changes, version 2.1.0 vs 2.0.0
