it looks like you didn't set nmropt=1 to read the weight changes.
it's always a very good idea to read the output file and make sure that
sander tells you that it will do what you wanted it to do. in this case,
did sander ever say it was going to change the temperature? the
output should have a section that describes all of the changes it thinks
you requested.

also check your group input- I don't think it is read either as I don't
see anything in the input that would need a group list. did you want
restraints, or what is that for?
