Dear all,
My guess is that some of the spaces are actually tabulators/tabs. This may 
happen if you copy/paste something between operating systems and/or editors 
and/or different encodings. On bash, you may try something along the lines 
of `sed -i "s/\t/ /g" <you input file>`. This replaces tabs with ordinary 
spaces. CP2K accepts only spaces as separators, not tabs. If my suggestion 
does not help, I need the actual files.
Best,
Frederick
