Semiempirical QMMM calculation

Hello CP2K experts,

I am trying to do semiempirical QMMM calculation. In this test calculation 
I am using the water box of 64 water molecules. I use the coordinates of 
the 64 water molecules obtained from M. D. Ben et al. 
(http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jz401931f).

With this input, if I change geometry, I get "EMAX_SPLINE" is too small 
error. For this particular 64-box water molecules, the SCF does not 
conversed even for 5000 iteration.

This input file is based on the input in TEST directory of CP2K.

Can anybody provide me the QMMM input for water box or correct my input? 

Thank you for the help.

Bharat
