[Wien] error using sgroup

Usually Pd(111) refers to a hexagonal lattice.
Thus you should set    H    and an angle gamma=120

Actually sgroup gives only a warning, not an error. You should probably 
accept the struct file generated by sgroup (but check all distances or 
use xcrysden to display the new structure) and continue.

I have also looked at the digest where somebody has asked this question with one other question regarding hexagonal lattice. Dr Blaha has addressed the second question but there is no solution I can find for this Accuracy problem. I cannot avoid that as it gives me trouble later with lstart. If anybody have any ideas about what could be the problem and he/she would like to share I will really appreciate. I am including structure file for reference.
