the corrected input file is as follows:

 $CONTRL SCFTYP=UHF DFTTYP=B3LYP RUNTYP=OPTIMIZE ICHARG=1
  INTTYP=HONDO ICUT=11 MULT=2 $END
 $SYSTEM MWORDS=200 $END
 $BASIS GBASIS=N311 NGAUSS=6 NDFUNC=2 NFFUNC=1 NPFUNC=1
   DIFFSP=.t. $END
 $PCM SOLVNT=H2O $END
 $STATPT HSSEND=.T. NPRT=-2 $END
 $DATA
opt with b3lyp/6-311+(2df,p)/water
C1
C       6       3.405660        -0.181600       -0.026420
H       1       2.004210        -0.415350       1.589180
 $END

Note a single space at the first position of each line, the $end
directive at the end of $data group, and scftyp changed from rhf to uhf (you cannot use RHF as your molecule is not closed-shell one).

Kind regards,
Alex Granovsky
