Ciao Nick,

to get the exact number can be really tricky.. you need to have a  
pretty good knowledge of the GPW and
(specifically for your input) GAPW method.
Anyway I will just drive you shortly in the right direction for your  
input file:

>     &POISSON
>       POISSON_SOLVER ANALYTIC
>       PERIODIC NONE
>     &END POISSON

ANALYTIC is ok though you may need a much  larger cell to efficiently  
decouple the periodic images.. Try instead:
     &POISSON
       POISSON_SOLVER MT
       PERIODIC NONE
     &END POISSON
for more info see the Martyna & Tuckermann related paper.

This is the energy you get:
   Total energy:                                                
-1.15974372512219
And Gamess:
gamess =                                                        
-1.1597712381

you may for sure tune better GAPW (see the full bunch of GAPW  
keywords) to get a better agreement, though 3*10^-5 Hartree is not  
such a bad number.
