Can I ask how you managed to obtain an mdcrd file from sander without the
water molecules? I may be mistaken but I don't believe there is an option
for doing this. You normally have to post process your mdcrd file through
either ptraj or carnal to strip the water. Are you sure there no water
molecules in the MDCRD file? Try using the original prmtop file (the one you
used for the simulation).

If you are correct that your mdcrd file only has the macromolecule and the
ions then the prmtop you require should also contain just the macromolecule
and ions. Essentially the number of atoms defined in your prmtop MUST match
the number of atoms in your mdcrd file.
Have you also applied any of the bugfixes. I suspect your problem is in a
mismatch between your prmtop and mdcrd files but it can't help to apply the
bugfixes:

The specific ones you want are bugfix: 3 & 29
Alternatively you could try downloading the latest version of ptraj from
http://www.chpc.utah.edu/~cheatham/software.html
You should also test if you can successfully read one of your prtmop files
on it's own.
