[Pw_forum] Question on the

Dear all
  I want to calculate the magnetic coupling constants to get the Curie
temperature. So I tried to get some spin configuration. I start the
calculation as is showed in the end of this mail with lamda=2. The target
atom(Ni2) did not show the antiferromagnetic moment as I want but a 0.2
miuB ferromagnetic moment(0.7 was expected). Then I restarted with the
wavefunction and change lambda to 5. However, all magnetic moments reduced
into their half in the end and divated more from the constraining. 
Could anyone point out the error in my inputfile? Or give some advise?
This puzzled me for a long time.
The following is the inputfile. I omit the coordination part for short.
