Check the atom and residue names. If the atoms are in the same residue and
have the same name Leap will just assume they are duplicates and discard the
second one. Although you should see a message about this when you load the
pdb.

This can sometimes cause problems as well. The files should be in Unix text
format. Try running:
dos2unix my.pdb
this will strip and extra carriage returns from the ends of lines.
I can't offer much more advice without see the pdb in question I am afraid.
All the best
