This means that no solvent cavity = is in your calculation at all! Change "SCRF=3D(PCM, solvent=3DWater)" to = "SCRF=3D(PCM, solvent=3DWater, Read)" and add "SPHEREONH=3D1" after your = geometry specification and a single blank line. This forces gaussian to = create a cavity around hydrogen atom 1. I hope this helps.
