simply specify
   verbosity = 'high'
in the &CONTROL namelist and at the end of the self-consistent cycle the occupation 
factors for each KS eigenstate will be printed on output. The occupations will be listed 
after the eigenvalues in a format which matches the way eigenvalues are listed (i.e. 
k-point tag, followed by real numbers, each of them corresponding to a band, ordered 
according to their energy).

When you perform spin-polarized calculations the code distinguished between "SPIN UP" and 
"SPIN DOWN" states when listing their corresponding eigenvalues (I believe it will do the 
same for occupations).
