[DFTB-Plus-User] Error with C Atom for DFTB3 Calculations

Dear Shay,

the problem is, that you use ShellResolvedScc, which would of course 
require a Hubbard derivatives for each valence shell of a given species, 
so two values for the s and p shell of carbon, respectively. Note, that 
the 3ob set should be used in general with ShellResolvedScc = No. In 
that case, your Hubbard derivatives block would be OK.

Best regards,

Bálint
