Why did you change the domain to 0..1?
As far as I understand, List is the list of cities you are going to 
visit; do you want to visit only two cities, namely city 0 and city 1?

The problem seems to be the fact that the objective function you use is 
real (floating point), while you use (in various points) code that was 
meant to work with the integers.

So, you can either change the code to work with the reals (or breals), 
or change the input data, for example by multiplying the distances by 
some big number (e.g., 1e7?).
