Maybe the BoltzTraP interpolation scheme (src/fite4.F90) has failed because your k-mesh is too course. You could try increasing the number of k-points to create a fine k-mesh (x kgen) followed by regenerating case.energy[up/dn] (x lapw1 [-up/-dn]) before running BoltzTraP again (path-to-BoltzTrap/x_trans BoltzTraP[-up/-dn]).
