Frequencies with frozen atoms

HI!

I am new at NWCHEM and i have been running some tests on optimizing and running numerical frequencies with frozen atoms. And surprizingly I get very different results ( different frequencies) if I do the following:

CASE A:

A1. i generate a file.nw in which I specify geometry, charge basis set, active list ... and I put task dft optimize.

A2. I restart the calculation using the restart keyword and put task dft frequencies numerical

CASE B:

B1. I submit a job with the same molecule and all but I put both dft optimize and dft frequencies numerical in the same .nw, the frequency calculation didn't finish

B2. I restart the frequency calculation using restart.


I have pasted the .nw input files below ... could somebody tell me what is wrong? or what am I missing? is there some information I have to always put in the input file even if I restart the calculation?

Thanks!
