BUSTER 2Fo-Fc maps (2FOFCWT/PH2FOFCWT columns) and Fo-Fc maps
(FOFCWT/PHFOFCWT) are not different from any other
amplitude/phase-based map in MTZ format. If you can open other maps
from program XYZ, then using the 'refine.mtz' from BUSTER will be
identical - apart from column names maybe.

So your problem with a difference/shift between coordinates and the
maps is unlikely to be related or specific to BUSTER: maybe the pymol
mailing list can help?

As an example of using BUSTER maps (albeit in Coot):

  % coot --pdb refine.pdb --auto refine.mtz

and everything will work as expected.
