these two lines are suspicious. obviously the namelist parser
could not parse the two strings. please check whether the single
quotation marks are proper ASCII characters. particularly when
transferring files from windows machines or but also when using
"smart" editors that use non-ASCII compatible encodings, bad 
things can happen.

the code falls back to pseudo_dir="$HOME/espresso/pseudo" if pseudo_dir 
is not set. see Modules/read_namelists.f90 for details.

cheers,
   axel.
