Shawn,
I am not sure I understand what you're trying to do. Fitmask just
specifies which parts of your molecule and reference you want to overlap
_before_ RMSD on parts of molecule specified by rmsmask is calculated.
If you change the way molecules overlap (i.e. by changing the fitmask)
you change the relative position of those parts of the molecule that you
calculate RMSD for and thus the TMD force will be different. If you
'apply TMD' only to residues 81-86 (i.e. you calculate RMSD for :81-86,
which happens when your tgtrmsd is set to :81-86) and the rest of your
system is free to move, then you're getting kind of random RMSD for
:81-86 because your system can move/rotate relative to your reference.
Maybe TMD is not the right tool for whatever you're trying to achieve?

Cheers,
-Viktor
