error while running translate6frames.sh

I am trying to map transcript reads to a database of amino acid sequences. To do this I am converting the database into nt with this tool, and converting the reads to amino acids, and then to nt.

While converting the reads back to nt, I get the following error:

"java.lang.Exception:
An input file appears to be misformatted:
The character with ASCII code 76 appeared where a base was expected: 'L'
Sequence #0
Sequence ID: 'HISEQ13:228:C8GY6ANXX:6:1101:6860:3216 1:N:0:CAGATC fr1'
Sequence: '[71, 86, 83, 82, 76, 67, 84, 71, 84, 42, 71, 83, 80, 71, 84, 83, 42, 71, 81, 87, 68, 83, 72, 42, 83, 73, 72, 65, 83, 82, 81, 76, 83, 71, 75, 86, 76, 82, 89, 76, 75, 82, 86, 73]
GVSRLCTGTGSPGTSGQWDSH*SIHASRQLSGKVLRYLKRVI'
This can be bypassed with the flag 'tossjunk', 'fixjunk', or 'ignorejunk'"

---

When I pass any of the recommendations (tossjunk, ignorejunk, fixjunk), I get another error.

"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AssertionError: This read is not flagged as an amino acid sequence."

Any idea on what I am doing wrong? Command copied below. Thank you!
