I second Ben's suggestions. You need a statistician to look into your data
and model in order to get an idea why and where the rank deficiency occurs.
Only then you'll know how you can either solve that problem or if it's safe
to ignore it.

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say
what the experiment died of. ~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher
The plural of anecdote is not data. ~ Roger Brinner
The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.
