Hi all,
I agree that adding debye waller factors in feff might be confusing, however, it can be useful if you are using a model for the DW factors that is not included in ifeffit, i.e., the spring constant, equation of motion, or dynamical matrix based methods. If these (or any of the other models in feff) are used, it will not change the path parameters used by ifeffit. The DWFs are only used in constructing chi(k), but the DWFs are printed out for each path so that they can be used in ifeffit/artemis if needed.
Cheers,
Josh

Ick! As good of a question as that might be, I have to recommend
against that practice in the strongest possible terms. Adding
sigma^2 <> 0 (or S0^2 <> 1, for that matter) to a Feff calculation
intended for use with Ifeffit/Artemis is highly likely to be highly
confusing.
