[Pw_forum] nimage is larger than the available number of images?

I'm trying to do an NEB calculation, and I'm getting a puzzling error:

nimage is larger than the available number of images

I've set the QE job to use 448 CPUs, and the line to execute the job is

mpirun.lsf --gm-copy-env ./pw.x -npool 2 -nimage 7 -in "diffBarr2_7_c18_v10_k4_GaLayers2.in" > "diffBarr2_7_c18_v10_k4_GaLayers2.out" 2> "diffBarr2_7_c18_v10_k4_GaLayers2.err"

The apparently relevant part of my input file is

&IONS
    pot_extrapolation = "second_order",
    wfc_extrapolation = "second_order",
    num_of_images = 7,
    opt_scheme = 'broyden'
/

I don't get it. nimage = num_of_images, so why is there a problem?
