Mulliken charge problem

Dear cp2k Users,
I've made some calculations with alpha quarz. At first I have
optimized the hexagonal cell with 9 atoms. I've got the initial
coordinates from a cell optimization in another ab initio programm.
The relaxation in cp2k was sucessfull and the mulliken charges from
the Si atoms are approximately the same. Now I have constructed an
orthorhombic cell with 19 atoms. I've constructed the basis from the
coordinates of the relaxed hexagonal cell. The length of the cell
vectors are also calculated from the hexagonal cell vectors(a, 3^0.5,
c).
When I start the cell optimization, I get the following mulliken
charges:
  Atom     |    Charge
     1  Si    1.370421
     2  Si    1.349422
     3  Si    0.726644
     4  O    -0.611734
     5  O    -0.644209
     6  O    -0.595641
     7  O    -0.609976
     8  O    -0.586622
     9  O    -0.647799
    10  Si    1.473611
    11  Si    1.489633
    12  Si    0.829598
    13  O    -0.609031
    14  O    -0.568553
    15  O    -0.591643
    16  O    -0.610546
    17  O    -0.600818
    18  O    -0.562758
  Total       0.000000


At the end of the cell optimization, the relation between the cell
vectors (a and 3^0.5*a) are also wrong.
What is my mistake??? Can somebody help me?
