This seems quite clear from the part of the scf (not pdf) file you sent.
The gap is between 7 and 8. Last occupied band is the 7th and first 
unoccupied is the 8th. The Fermi level (separation between occupied and 
unoccupied) is at 0.413517.
The band 8 starts at 0.661184Ry and the band 7 finish at 0.413517, so 
the gap is 0.2477Ry (3.37eV)
