Another possibility:

You have a very funny   SCRATCH  variable:

/home/wien2k/jobs_w2/scratch/Si.vectorsoup

Maybe there is something wrong. ?

echo $SCRATCH
cat *lapwso.def
cat *optic.def

Compare the case.vectorso   lines.

After   lapwso the vector files should be where it says in the def file.

-----------------
Is this from a batch job, and you are using some local SCRATCH ???
Then the vector files in $SCRATCH  are probably not available anymore 
once the job has finished.
-------------------

But all this are some hints, which can be totally wrong, since you are 
not telling us any details.
