I'm sorry we could not help.
in general, it is difficult to expect anyone to help
you if you can't even tell them what you are doing.
if you aren't an AMBER expert, you might not
actually be doing what you think you are doing.
without showing even your selection of input variables
you really are on your own.
good luck
