The fermi energies depend on the choice of the potential-zero and this could be different
for different codes.

However, an EF of 0.06 for Tb in its experimental structure is definitely wrong.

Maybe you have a wrong lattice parameter (ang vs bohr ???) or you lost the f electrons ??
during the scf cycle.
