Kindly help me out, thanks.

The problem can be due to the version of the two codes.
Have you verified that the version of DP you are using is compatible with the Abinit version you use to create the KSS file?
Another source of error can be the compatibility of the machines where you are running the code.
You can try to generate the KSS file and run the DP code within the same machine.

MPis86 thanks alot
