[Smeagol-discuss] Problem: Leads decimation

Dear all...
I have already  posted a question regarding the leads decimation error.
Could somebody please point out out of what reason , such an error is
coming. I have been trying with simple systems to figure out the error..
Even when I use  the bccFe(001) as both leads and EM part error persists.
Am I making some error in the geomtery of the leads and scattering part??
I am pasting here my inputs for the bcc Fe (001) .. Could anybody help me
please..
