  Very difficult!

  Have you used polarrfn to identify the direction of the 3 fold?

It is probably R32 - C2 often is, and if you run axissearch on the C2 
cell you find:

axis
  Reciprocal lattice vector and Length:   0   0   1  0.005438
  Reciprocal lattice vector and Length:   1   1   0  0.015378
  Reciprocal lattice vector and Length:   1  -1   0  0.015378
  Reciprocal lattice vector and Length:   0   2   0  0.015494


Angles:

.....

Have I been here before? Yes I have!!

You reindex:
REIN  1.5h-0.5k+l , k,l to convert to R32
