[Wien] Error while doing AFM calculation

In your "NaYbO2 (2).struct" file, I see:

ATOM  -2: X=0.33333000 Y=0.33333000 Z=0.33333000

ATOM -15: X=0.66667000 Y=0.66667000 Z=0.66667000

Are those supposed to be 1/3 and 2/3, respectively? If so, maybe it 
could lead to ghostbands like that seen the post at:
