[Wien] Never converging

Are you sure your structure is correct?.

Your sphere sizes are unphysically small, so I expect the structure 
description is wrong (were these RMTs taken automatically by setrmt ?).

You have a R lattice and WIEN2k uses a peculiar structure description 
for that: You need the hexagonal lattice parameters, but the positions 
must be in rhombohedral coordinates. Check the spacegroup settings.
