don't worry about that one. the problem here is that you are
running a system with an odd number of electrons, but don't
do a spin polarized calculation, i.e. you have to set nspin=2
and multiplicity according to what you need (probably 2).

but your results are probably bogus because of the
fact that you "force" your system to have two half-occupied orbitals.
(with nspin=1 full spin symmetry is assumed and only one wavefunction
computed for both spin-up and spin-down).
