I looked into your struct file:

When running init_lapw (x sgroup or symmetry) you can see that there are 
errors and the symmetry is wrong.

Spacegroup  P63mc does not have 24 symmetry operations.

(When you setup a calculation you must "distort" the positions first,
determine the symmetry, and eventually change back the positions to a 
"higher symmetric one.)
