[Thomas Brumme]

Dear Ashkan,

In general it would also help to see your input file for the 
band-structure calculation.
I have however two remarks which could help:

1. if you want to calculate the electronic structure of an isolated 
monolayer of MoS2
(as your input file suggests) then you don't need any k points along z. 
You can reduce
the k-point grid in the self-consistent calculation to 12x12x1.
2. I think the coordinates you give do not correspond to any K point in 
the BZ, but I
could be wrong.
(2/3,-1/3,0) would be correct, or (1/3,1/3,0).

I always use XCrysDen to find the correct k points. Just load your 
structure and use
the k-path selection tool.

Regards

Thomas
