Hi, Deng,
 this error is due to more or less lines you give in the input file.  I
checked the subroutine, and found that this error will be called for two
situations , the one is wrong format, the other is wrong lines. Since your
format for kpoints card is right, i think the most probability is wrong
lines you gave . This situation may be due to transferring files from
windows to linux.

Regards,
