When I create an input file for PWSCF and view it in XCrysDen, it only
shows two atoms (attached as figure1xsf.png), whereas if I create the
structure file using Materials Studio or VESTA, I see 6 atoms (attached as
figure2vesta.jpeg).

Is my structure correct or am I not understanding the symmetry correctly or
is there a problem with XCrysDen.

The relevant part of the PWSCF input file:

&SYSTEM
  ibrav = 9,
  celldm(1) = 5.392713591,
  celldm(2) = 2.0568034482,
  celldm(3) = 1.736272208,
  nat = 1,
  ntyp = 1,
  ecutwfc = 35,
  ecutrho = 280,
  occupations = 'smearing',
  smearing = 'mp',
  degauss = 0.02,
/
&ELECTRONS
  conv_thr = 1.D-7,
  mixing_beta = 0.7D0,
/
&IONS
/
ATOMIC_SPECIES
U  1.00  U.pbe-nd-rrkjus.UPF
ATOMIC_POSITIONS {crystal}
U      0.000     0.10239     0.25
K_POINTS {automatic}
 1 1 1 0 0 0


Sorry if this is trivial but I could not get it correctly no matter what
all options I tried.
