CCL:G: Failure Restarting Gaussian 09 Jobs



 Sent to CCL by: "Douglas B. Staple" [dstaple~~dal.ca]
 For some reason I can't get Gaussian 09 to restart jobs that are prematurely
 terminated.  Here is a test job:
 http://myweb.dal.ca/~dstaple/benzene.gjf
 Obviously the real jobs that are causing me issues are larger than benzene, but
 the errors are exactly the same.
 I terminate the geometry optimization by hitting ctrl+C and then try to restart
 the job using a new benzene.gjf file with the following form:
 %NProcShared=8
 %Mem=10GB
 %Chk=benzene
 # PBEPBE/AUG-cc-pVDZ SCF(NoVarAcc,Fermi,XQC) Integral(Grid=UltraFine,Acc2E=12)
 Opt=Restart
 I've tried various modifications to the route line, such as:
 # SCF(NoVarAcc,Fermi,XQC) Integral(Grid=UltraFine,Acc2E=12) Opt=Restart
 or:
 # PBEPBE/AUG-cc-pVDZ SCF(NoVarAcc,Fermi,XQC) Integral(Grid=UltraFine,Acc2E=12)
 Opt Geom=AllCheck Guess=Read
 Each time, I get output that contains the error "FileIO operation on
 non-existent file", ultimately terminating in a segmentation violation.  I
 uploaded typical output (stdout and stderr) here:
 http://myweb.dal.ca/~dstaple/benzene.e
 http://myweb.dal.ca/~dstaple/benzene.o
 To make matters worse, the "real" jobs I'm interested in restarting
 are multi-part jobs consisting of geometry optimization plus polarity
 calculation, i.e. more like:
 http://myweb.dal.ca/~dstaple/benzene_multipart.gjf
 I know this changes things, but until I can get a geometry optimization to
 restart it seems senseless to look at the multi-part jobs.
 What am I doing wrong?
 Thanks,
