  Have you changed this to "smearing" and related keywords?

Thanks for your reply
I have  change the 
calculation='scf' 
but it still the same. why ?

Well, you are wrong. k-points generated by kvecs_FS.x can not be used for scf 
calculation. They are designed for nscf calculations (to map the Fermi surface), 
given in units of 2\pi/a and are Cartesian.
