Hi

  from the results of your calculation you have fractional occupations.  
Does the literature report this material as insulator or as metal ?

  It might be that this fractional occupations are caused by the wrong 
dispersion of the some atomic states. This a very well known problem of 
LDA or PBE with localized d or f atomic states. One way to correct this 
behavior is using LDA+U approach.

I hope this helps

regards

Pietro
