Dear Paolo,
I tried 9 9 9 1 1 1 and 9 9 9 0 0 0 but I still got the same error
message. 
I moved back to QE-6.1 and I was able to calculate the DOS. I ran the
SCF calculation first, followed by the NSCF calculation (with smearing,
degauss value and shifted k-points 9 9 1) afterward I ran the program
dos.x and I plotted the DOS.
I did not get any error messages, everything worked.
The k-points 9 9 1 that I am using were obtained after the convergence
test was achieved. They are k-points at which the total energy of the
system was the lowest. So, I think the NSCF calculation with the
tetahedra method should have worked with that k-points grid.

Thank you Paolo, Oleksandr and Pietro for your assitance

Regards - Pacome
