    Hi Eduardo Maury

    Based on the error message you posted It looks like some of your input files are in sam format rather than bam format. You may be able to check their bgzip compression status by just typing

    cat filename | head -n 10

    If you get a meaningful text header then the file is not bam but sam format. You may be able to convert them to bam using gatk PrintReads or samtools view. 

    I hope this helps.
