KPOINTs vs. EIGENVAL

I'm trying to calculate the energy eigenvalues for a single kpoint. This is the k-point file:

example file
1
Cartesian
0.768559052642 0.443727775931 0.0 2.


here is the EIGENVAL folder:

2 2 1 1
0.1447025E+03 0.4087640E-09 0.4087640E-09 0.2000000E-08 0.5000000E-15
1.000000000000000E-004
CAR
Example File
8 1 8

-0.1042277E-11 0.3141593E+01 0.0000000E+00 0.1000000E+01
1 -14.9967
2 -8.3916
3 -6.0587
4 -4.0149
5 -2.3141
6 -0.1736
7 0.3183
8 1.4779


Why, if I'm asking to calculate the eigenvalues at (0.768559052642, 0.443727775931, 0.0) does it give me the eigenvalues for the point (-0.1042277E-11, 0.3141593E+01, 0.0) ?

These values should be in reciprocal coordinates. Examine your OUTCAR file.
