Dear Antonio Cammarata

Did you set an ‘artificial number’ for the number of bands (nbnd)?

In your output file, the energy of the top four bands are
    -3.4287  -3.4224  -3.4224  -3.4063

While the Fermi energy is    -3.2274 ev.

Then the occupation numbers at the top four bands are
     0.8144   0.8074   0.8074   0.7882

This means that the system has no conduction bands.
Wrong setting.

Do not specify the nbnd and just use the default setting.
