First of all, I don't understand why your k-point grid is not 2D (i.e. nkx, nky, 1) if you 
want to study graphite.

Be carefull that until a recent change in the CVS version the ph.x was overwriting pw.x 
data in the .save directory, so that if you do successive ph.x calculations without making 
a copy of that directory it may not work.

Now I will try some of your problematic k-points grids and let oyu know if they work with 
the CVS version.
