I don't understand so well what you are comparing with what.
If you compare harmonic bands with the ones from the trajectory then  
the difference are anharmonic effects.
If you are comparing to experiment, well DFT has an error, and on the  
top of it normally its frequencies are shifted from the correct ones.
