Please note that the option tpiba_b requires the k points in cartesian
coordinates and in units of two pi over alat. Probably you need to use
the crystal_b option if the k points are in crystal coordinates.
Furthermore the weights of the k points must be the number of points in
each line.

xk1(1) xk1(2) xk1(3) nk1 (number of points of the line from xk1 to xk2)
xk2(1) xk2(2) xk2(3) number of points of the next line

HTH,

Andrea
