This, most likely, will not affect, as K_POINTS provided are in 2\pi/a and cartesian, and look correct.

Hopefully you mean results obtained by correct atomic positions
(Ga(0,0,0), As(0.25,0.25,0.25)) [as it was reported by Davide C] and correct lattice parameter that is 5.65 Angstrom, but not 4.551Ang as you specified (8.6 a.u). This huge difference can induce big changes in the band structure (in energy scale, as example).

But looking at your band structure it seems you deal with spin-relativistic band structure for GaAs. To compare see PRL 94, 226601 (2005). How about your PsP files, are they fully-relativistic or not?

Bests,
Eyvaz.
