It looks like it is stalling when it tries to store integrals to disk. Try running this calculation with setting "direct" in the "scf" block.

Output:

everything seems ok in the geometry and basis set output, until the job actually starts to run:

 Old title          = "RuBpy"

 Old basis name     = all 321g basis
 Basis name on file = all 321g basis

   Time after variat. SCF:     16.7

And then it stalls here for an hour or more.
