carbohydrate minimisation

Dear AMBER users

I have been using Amber 6 to model carbohydrates using the published
parameters of Homans and these are included in a suitable frcmod file.
This works fine for simulations in vacuo or with a distance dependent
dielectric.

When trying to used a generalised Born model for solvent, by
setting igb=1, then sander stops with the error message given below.
I presume this is because I have not yet specified GB parameters
for the new atom types in the frcmod file. Which file specifies these
parameters for a given atom type ? The error message is a little strange
in that I do not have a residue named 'WAT' in the molecule, where
could this part of the error message come from ?

Thanks for any help.
Mark

The input file is also included below:
