I've noticed while trying to perform ACFDT2 calculations that my selected auxiliary basis set is not being used when the ACFDT2 program runs. I'm trying to use the aug-cc-PVDZ-PP basis set for Cu atoms in my system, but it seems like the def2-QZVPP fitting set is selected instead of the appropriate mp2fit for aug-cc-PVDZ. To the best of my knowledge, my input file is in line with the example provided in the molpro manual (
Please let me know if you have any suspicions why this error may be occurring or if you've experienced similar bugs!
Here is my molpro input file:

basis={

set,mp2fit;  default,aug-cc-pVDZ-pp/mp2fit}

Here is the portion of the output file related to the ACFDT2 program:
