Although it's giving you a hard time, on the average the charge distance
is decreasing, and especially the last few iterations look promising:

:DIS  :  CHARGE DISTANCE       0.0130261
:DIS  :  CHARGE DISTANCE       0.0128220
:DIS  :  CHARGE DISTANCE       0.0123142
:DIS  :  CHARGE DISTANCE       0.0106543
:DIS  :  CHARGE DISTANCE       0.0098973

Let it continue, it looks like it will converge. Probably the scf-cycle was jumping back and forth between several local minima, a frequent behaviour when LDA+U is used. As a consequence, most likely your converged result will not be unique...
