Hi,

the commented part 
      # &INTERACTION_POTENTIAL
      #   POTENTIAL_TYPE SHORTRANGE
      #   OMEGA 0.33
      #   CUTOFF_RADIUS 0.11
      #   T_C_G_DATA /opt/pkg/cp2k/2.6/dist/cp2k/data/t_c_g.dat
      # &END INTERACTION_POTENTIAL
needs to be looked.

In your input, you don't have as said shortrange or truncated, you need to 
uncomment this part and put it into the HF

Or you can use a truncated one

    &INTERACTION_POTENTIAL

     POTENTIAL_TYPE TRUNCATED

     CUTOFF_RADIUS 6.0 (Need to be tuned and <=Lcell/2)

     T_C_G_DATA /PATH/TO/t_c_g.dat

    &END INTERACTION_POTENTIAL
