Urgent repost: Multiplicity not specified

Dear Julia,

the multiplicity printed in the output at that place is related to the 
atomic calculation performed for each element to generate a proper initial 
guess, when the guess is required to be of ATOMIC type.
This has nothing to do with the multiplicity of your system, if you are 
doing a standard DFT calculation. 
Please use the print out of the spin density or some sort of population 
analysis to verify whether the electrons are correctly distributed .

Regards,
Marcella
