Please explain if there is a box that needs to be checked somewhere.  How can Sch SE generate and calculate SE tax and then say no SEP deduction because no SE income?

Is there a second business that had a loss?

Any chance you have the Schedule C for one taxpayer, and that you are indicating the SEP is for the spouse (with no Schedule C)?

No.  It is all set up as the spouse.  I even tried switching everything to the taxpayer and got the same diagnostic.  So it is something else.
