Where is the problem ?
It is a spin-polarized calculation, thus you must "add" the spin-up and dn 
contributions (there are 2 :VZZxxx lines in your scf file)
You can then see that the sum of these VZZxxx values is close to the EFG tensor 
BEFORE diagonalization.
In addition, note that "EFG" in this case is NOT the z-component, but it is Vyy 
(after diagonalization!!)
