[Pw_forum] symmetry not recognized

Thank you Andrea, I will include that flag. This error showed up consistently through each system in the given example as well as the epw.x examples so that leads me to believe there is an issue with the code (I'm assuming...with trepidation). Since this is an older version I was wondering if it was a known issue that might have been resolved in the newer version, if that is the case then hopefully I will be able to find the issue while comparing the two versions. If, instead, this is a operator error (mine) and I'm totally barking up the wrong tree please let me know :)
Thank you again,
JW
