 IT is hard to say without more information.
And harder still as I dont know CNS diagnostics..

 If you import scalepack data via the GUI you get some very useful plots
which help analyse data qualitty. Look at wilson plot ; cumulative
intensities, fall off of <F> and anisotropic falloff..

Again with REFMAC5 you get plots which might help diagnose scaling
problems etc.

 Do you have 2 molecules in the asymmetric unit? Pseudo translation NCS
can increase R values greatly


And did you transfer the FreeR set from the first data set to the
second?

 Maybe not essential but can help..
