[Wannier] Error cannot remap grid on k-point list

Oier,

 I think the tetrahedron method in PWSCF requires the k-point to be generated using the “automatic” option. Despite the fact that you have given it a regular grid that should (in theory) work I suspect the code isn’t able to figure this out.
 So just change the occupation method to smearing for the nscf part - you aren’t going to the use the occupations anyhow.

However when I want to extract the wannier functions, I know that the atomic positions, k_points and everything must be extactly the same in both the pw-calculation and in the wannier90 inputs. For this, I run a nscf calculation with the kpoint list that is generated from running the perl script kmesh.pl with kpoint 2 4 5, and I include them all using K_POINTS {crystal} card. When I run the calculation I get an error in routine tetrahedra (I'm using the tetrahedron method) saying 'Error cannot remap grid on k-point list'. I've activated the nosym = .true. tag to see if that could be the problem but the error message keeps appearing.  I've also inspected the 18 irreducible k-points from the scf calculation and they look consistent with those generated by the script (not irreducible). I paste the input file above. Any help and suggestion will be much appreciated.
