 Dear Bertoni,

 I'm not a specialist but i  tell you what i do and works (from C. Hebert) :
i generate a full k mesh with only the idendity as symmetry and then i 
do not add inversion or shift k-mesh when it is asked for (i use H 
formula, F does not work)
basically, when i do not add inversion it works...

best regards

Philippe
