Dear Gavin, thanks for the answer, was helpful on a rainy sunday afternoon. It was the most stupid mistake, I guess you know which one (I wanted to do only one scf cycle for test purpose).
The "bug" was sitting 20 cm in front of my monitor. Ciao Gerhard DEEP THOUGHT in D.

I would first try checking the contents of scratch variable in the terminal/script environment and also the "Scratch Directory" box in w2web under run_SCF. Second, I would try adding -x to makescratch_lapw to see if the long output could give a better idea were the problem might be coming (similar to what was mentioned for troubleshooting csh scripts like x_lapw [ http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg07734.html ]).
