Dear Mohaddeseh,

Although I can not help you with the exact reason why you are getting
this error, on a technical point of view,
the error message means that the beta functions (used in calculating
the norm) can not be read from the file you have created.

My first guess would be  that your assumption of "and converted it to
one appropriate for PWscf" might be wrong.

If you have prepared i.e. an USPP, a first starting point might be to
check in the PP file that the number of projectors and <PP_BETA>
sections are consistent, meshes are consistent, etc.

Best,
 O. Baris Malcioglu
