The DFTD3(BJ) option was added in CP2K 2.6 - which version are you using?

Without including dispersion forces the structures were stable above 300K but with DFTD3 the structure began to break at much lower temperatures ~125K. To get a more accurate idea of the working temperature I attempted to use DFTD3(BJ) however when I used the parameters retrieved from the cp2k manual site and the following input code section:
