Hi,

I peroused your input file and I found a possible error. Your SCF convergence 
criteria, toldfe 1d-5, is probably not sufficient to get a reasonnable result 
for forces. Hence, when relaxing the system with a criteria of tolmxf 5d-4, 
you are probably sampling noise.

This can be checked in your output file. Look at the convergence of the 
forces in  the SCF results. I think a better parameter for the SCf 
convergence should be toldff 1d-6. But, if your atoms are in highly symetric 
positions (forces are all zero), you will be forced to use toldfe close to 
1d-10. But, I don't think this is your case.
