[gpaw-users] Van der Waals correction

Dear GPAW users,

for instance if I do a calculation with the following input-file:

from ase import io
from ase.parallel import parprint
from gpaw import GPAW, MixerSum, MixerDif, FermiDirac, PoissonSolver
from ase.lattice.surface import *
from ase.optimize import QuasiNewton, MDMin
from ase.data.s22 import data, s22
from ase.calculators.vdwcorrection import vdWTkatchenko09prl
from gpaw.analyse.hirshfeld import HirshfeldDensity, HirshfeldPartitioning
from gpaw.analyse.vdwradii import vdWradii

au=fcc111('Au', size=(3,3,5))

au.center(vacuum=6.0)

c = GPAW(
   #h=0.22,
   gpts=(160, 160, 160),
   kpts=(1,1,1),
   mode='lcao',
   spinpol=True,
   basis='dzp',
   xc='PBE',
   mixer=MixerSum(),
   occupations=FermiDirac(5e-3),
   maxiter=300,
   poissonsolver=PoissonSolver(relax='GS', eps=1e-10),
)

au.set_calculator(c)
epot = au.get_potential_energy()

## add vdw correction
cc = vdWTkatchenko09prl(HirshfeldPartitioning(c),  
vdWradii(au.get_chemical_symbols(), 'PBE'))
au.set_calculator(cc)
epot_vdw = au.get_potential_energy()

relax = QuasiNewton(au, trajectory='Au_TS09.traj', logfile='Au_TS09.rel.log')
relax.run(fmax=0.05)

parprint('Epot: {0}'.format(epot_vdw))

c.write('au_TS09.gpw', mode='all')
c.attach(c.write, n, 'Au_TS09.gpw', mode='gpw:wfs_tmp/psit_Gs%dk%dn%d')
io.write('Au_relTS09.xyz', au)

parprint('>>> DONE <<<')


the run aborts after writing the "Local Magnetic Moments" and I get an  
error including:

     cc = vdWTkatchenko09prl(HirshfeldPartitioning(c),  
vdWradii(au.get_chemical_symbols(), 'PBE'))

Could anyone help? Thanks in advance.
