Everything what can go wrong is wrong.

Did you "look" at your structure (xcrysden)?  It shows 5 thin slabs with 
5 vacuum regions between them ??? Is this the model you want to simulate ?

Then: You cannot simply ignore all previous steps (and their error 
messages).

x nn     complains about overlapping spheres and gives warnings:
          WARNING: ityp not equal. PLEASE CHECK outputnn-file
          WARNING: ityp not equal. PLEASE CHECK outputnn-file

x sgroup    would reduce the structure (most likely to ONE slab+vacuum)

x symmetry:  look into case.outputs: There are lots of error messages ..

You ignored everything until dstart finally stops .....
