Your machines file is wrong.

>     granularity:1
>     1:gorina1                         # this is a correct line for k-parallel. However, you need at least 2 such lines to run in parallel on 2 cores. 
>     lapw0:gorina1:32                  # runs lapw0 in mpi-mode !!! on 32 cores !!!???
>     dstart:gorina1:1                  # This runs dstart in "parallel" on ONE core ???
>     lapw1:gorina1:8                   # THIS line is not allowed and causes the error.

Please consult the UG.
