[Pw_forum] Neb restart

Dear QE-users,

I am doing a restart Neb calculation with QE v.5.4.

The input files are the followings:

neb_ad_config.path
neb.dat (with the restart)
the folder with the output files of each images (just three in this case 
with the name neb_ad_config_i, i: 1,2,3)
*in files

and I run :  $QEDIR/neb.x -nimage 1  --input_images 3

#
On the output file of the run is written:

/Atomic positions and unit cell read from directory: //
//     .///neb_ad_config_i/neb_ad_config.save//

for each i Image. And read the file 'neb_ad_config.path'.

The problem is that in the folder of the last image three other folder 
are created and the *path are written. Also the PW.out of image 2 it is 
written :

/    Cannot read rho : file not found /

It is not clear to me why it creates 3 other output folders? For image 2 
reads the correct positions but it doesn't find the charge density. 
Probably I am writing something wrong, I hope anyone could help me.

I send the pw_1.in(in the other just the geometry and the respective 
folder are changed) neb.dat.

Thanks in advance,
