I do not know the lammpstrj format, but the above values look fishy.
Depending on whether they are denoted as column or row vectors, you
either have two parallel axes (0 6 0 occurs twice), or one of them is
the zero vector (0 0 0). None of this looks useful as unitcell vectors.
So my guess is that the error handling of the file reader plugin is not
perfect, as it does not complain, but that mainly your box vectors are
wrong.
