Of course the error occurs always, also when running   x symmetry.
In init_lapw in batch mode, the error is catched automatically and init stops, while in the step-by-step initialization you are supposed to examine case.outputs by yourself and find the problem on your own.

Just check the case.outputs file.

The problem is that this site has "almost" C3v symmetry and not only C3i. The mirror planes and C2 operations are only slightly invalid and the test in symmetry was not accurate enough.

Edit symmetry.f in SRC_symmetry and search for "tol".

Change the value of tol from 1.d-3 to 1.d-4:

      tol=1.e-3    -->    tol=1.e-4

and recompile.

Thanks for reporting the problem.

Actually I found it when doing it step by step, although the error was only in the output. Peter is the expert on this....

    Strange, just as a diagnostic
    it seems the error appears only when running batch initialisation
    I do not see it when using step by step initialisation in w2web
    or running x symmetry directly from the command line

    also strange, when converting the structure to P1 then sgroup finds
    space group 146 instead of 148
    but the batch initialisation has the same problem (indeed after
    accepting the structure from sgroup)
    again, no error from x symmetry only from batch initialisation

    Betreff: [Wien] error in symmetry step (not seen by sgroup)

    Dear Wien2k Users & Developers,

    I have a strange problem with the symmetry step (during the
    initialization procedure), seems not to be reported to the mailing
    list before.
    My original system was rather a big one, so I created a smaller
    struct file to track the error (attached).
    Struct file was checked with sgroup before initialization, there are
    no problems with rounding of positions as well.

    During the initialization, symmetry reports the error:
    ---------- ERROR ------------------
    ERROR: (multiplicity of atom           2 )*(number of
    pointgroup-operations)
    ERROR: is NOT = (number of spacegroup-operations)
    ERROR: MULT:           1  ISYM:          12  NSYM           6
    ERROR: Check your struct file with    x sgroup
    ---------- ERROR ------------------

    Space group is #148 R-3 with 6 symmetry operations. In the attached
    struct file there are 2 inequivalent positions: (6f) and (1a)
    =(0,0,0). If you remove the 1a atom, symmetry has no problems, but
    when (1a) is present, error pops up. It looks like symmetry wants to
    have 12 symm operations, instead of 6 (?).
    Is there an error in the symmetry program or how can I deal with
    such a structure?

    best,
