Hi!

I am not sure but AFAIK band structure with direct gap at K-point is 
realized only at certain stacking of MoS2 sheets. In your input file 
only one sheet is described, so its stacking is determined by the space 
group. I suppose that in this case the best practice is to check that QE 
indeed found all symmetry operations (the number of Sym. Ops. is written 
in the beginning of output file -- at least it should be equal to the 
one you have in mind).
