AMBER: Problem with impose in lep

Dear AMBER developers,

        I am trying to generate a specific 3D structure for a polipeptyde starting from the sequence and a
pair of phi-psi angles using the leap module of AMBER7. The angles are imposed using the "impose"
command in leap. However, whilst the psi angle of residue "i" is placed correctly, the phi angle of
residue "i" is being assigned to residue "i+1", generating therefore a distorted structure.
        Is this a known problem with leap? Is there a solution to it? Any help is welcome.

        Its follows below an example of the leap input for the Trp_cage polipeptyde I am using. The
"impose" command is shown only for the first three residues.

source leaprc.ff94
TRP_cage = sequence { NASN LEU TYR ILE GLN TRP LEU LYS ASP GLY
                          GLY PRO SER SER GLY ARG PRO PRO PRO CSER }
impose TRP_cage { 1 } {
{ C N CA C -45.00 }
{ N CA C N -56.14 }
}
impose TRP_cage { 2 } {
{ C N CA C -43.98 }
{ N CA C N -51.31 }
}
impose TRP_cage { 3 } {
{ C N CA C -66.47 }
{ N CA C N -30.90 }
}
          .
          .
