I can't tell whether you have received the reply I sent yesterday (see below).
The problem sounds very similar: check you input value for ntb (default is 1);
if that doesn't help, you will need to provide more information (input files,
etc.). If you indeed tried what I suggested and it didn't work, let us know
that as well (again with relevant details).

Setting ntb=1 implies you have a periodic simulation, not a vacuum. My
recollection was that we also recommended using sander_classic for vacuum
calculations in Amber 6. You can get things to work in sander (check the
instructions or the mail archives carefully), but this was less efficient
than running the calculation with sander_classic.
