too high binding energy

Dear all,
I want to calculate binding energy of an endofullerene. The routine to do 
so is clear to me but I am getting energy 20 kcal/mol higher than the 
reported values. I used the highest basis set available in CP2K with the 
vdW corrected PBE. The script I am using for geometry optimization is given 
at the end. The optimized geometries of the individual and supra molecules 
I get using these inputs are very much similar to the ones given by other 
workers. It is just the high binding energy that I am not getting correct 
even after correcting for BSSE. I cannot figure out what the reason could 
be.. Could someone please suggest where the problem is?
