It is not really clear what exactly you did, but definitely you did lot of
"handwork" without knowing the details.
RKmax =5.5 is probably a bit small for 3d elements.
Compare the two lines: One says "partial forces", the other one "total forces".
Partial forces are incomplete and only used during scf to monitor scf-convergence.
With the switch -fc xx, it will switch in the last scf to "total forces".
(You did read the UG ?)

With which command did you produce case.scf_mini, such that it contains only
one result and stopped with large forces ???
