Well, this is not enough to prove that this was the real problem. If you look into your pseudopotential file (with a simple text editor), you should search for something like ?number_of_wfc? in the header. If the number is 0, surely you cannot use that PP in LDA+U calculations (but it should be OK for plain LDA, of course).
