The numbers are ok, but if all your eigenvalues have such small partial 
charges for atom 3, you will never see anything.

The partial charge of this state for atom 3 is only 0.0019 !
The p-charge is 0.0014 and it has 3 contributions (0.00090, 0.00029 and 
0.00021)
and of course also the d-charge is VERY small.
If all your charges of atom 3 are that small, it is rather clear that 
you see "nothing". To plot such charges, you would maybe need a 
"radius-factor of 100, but basically this state does NOT have any 
significant contribution of atom 3.

Of course the p (and d) charges can be decomposed into relativistic 
qu.numbers, but the output will be meaningless.
