When you use symmetry label in $DATA, the program always adds atoms, regardless of COORD type (actually, I saw the same problem with ZMT). To avoid this, either use C1 symmetry or give only symmetry-unique atoms (in your case, only H-C-C-H). In addition, COORD=UNIQUE should be preferred over COORD=CART, because with UNIQUE coordinates the program will not reorient your molecule (in some cases it may cause severe problems).
