Error obtained when adding a BAND_STRUCTURE section in the input

Hi,

K-point functionality is available from CP2K version 4.1 onwards. The 
output suggests that you are using an older version because the KPOINTS 
section is not recognized (assuming the section was placed in the correct 
subsection i.e. FORCE_EVAL&DFT). Your input will only work using the trunk 
version of CP2K (the section related to band_structure printing has been 
moved since version 4.1.). 

BR,

Nico
