You have to specify four different atom numbers for a torsion; but you have
"43,21,43,21" which is not a correct set of atoms. It looks like you want two
atoms in one chain/residue and two in another; you will have to figure out
what actual atom numbers are, and put them in there.

I don't know if you tried to use an auxiliary program to prepare the RST
file, but for a single torsion it is generally easiest just to create this
by hand.

....good luck...dac
