If you then change it to isotropic, does it work? What I am trying to determine is if the issue is related to orthotropy in general. It seems that might be the case.
I think the best thing to do would be create the simplest deck that demonstrates the issue. For example, I would not use any load scaling factors and I would use round numbers for the material properties, etc. Also, it will be easier if you don't use up all the entire space in the field (better separation of the numbers that includes spaces). This will be possible if you use whole numbers and it will be easier to read the deck for those that don't have column editors or less familiar with this format. Its still at a point where we have a better idea what is going, but I would encourage you to make the deck as simple, basic, and readable as possible to expedite resolution.
