Dear PW users

I am trying to calculate transmission coefficient of a molecular wire
using espresso-5.0.2. The output returns with the error

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     Error in routine init_orbitals (1):
     Too big atomic spheres
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Below is the input for scf calculation and pwcond.x:

&control
    calculation = 'scf'
    restart_mode='from_scratch',
    prefix='adn',
    tprnfor = .true.
    pseudo_dir = '/home/khalili/espresso-5.0.2/pseudo',
    outdir='./'

 &system
    ibrav= 0, celldm(1)=5.613142761,
    nat= 21, ntyp= 5,
    ecutwfc = 27,
    ecutrho = 391,
    occupations='smearing', smearing='marzari-vanderbilt', degauss=0.05
