[molpro-user] Analytic geometry optimization with density-fitting CASSCF by RS2 did not work

Dear Molpro Experts,
I tried to do geometry optimization at df-CASSCF level, and wished the job to run using analytic gradient via df-RS2 with "noexc" keyword:(reference: http://www.molpro.net/pipermail/molpro-user/2012-October/005092.html)However, the geometry optimization still proceeded with numerical gradient. Here is my input:
***,df-CAS(12,12) optimizationmemory,15000,m

optg,root=2          ! optimize for transition state
Everything went fine until df-RS2 finished, and the RSPT2 energy indeed equals to the CASSCF reference energy. But while starting geometry optimization, I found in the output file that the calculation still used numeric gradient.
May I know what went wrong with the input file? The tail of the output file follows. Thank you very much for your help!
Sincerely,MJ Wu
