Dear Logan,
As it turns out the section XC_FUNCTIONAL set with BEEFVDW turns on the 
VDW_POTENTIAL automatically. To circumvent that, you have to set all 
sections manually (compare 
https://github.com/cp2k/cp2k/blob/9dfcaf3174bfa16619908c194c10edb24824738d/src/input_cp2k_check.F#L185)
&XC
  &XC_FUNCTIONAL
    &PBE
      SCALE_C 0.3998335231 
      SCALE_X 0.0
    &END PBE
    &LDA_C_PW
      SCALE 0.600166476
    &END LDA_C_PW
    &BEEF
    &END BEEF
  &END XC_FUNCTIONAL
&END XC

Best,
Frederick
