AMBER: hbond analysis

Dear Amber users,

I am trying to use the ptraj hbond facility to analyze lifetimes of
hydrogen bonds in a protein and between a protein and a ligand. More
precisely, I am trying to define a set of donors and have ptraj printing
out all Hbonds formed by these donors in at least 1 frame of the
trajectory (with the donor-acceptor distance, angle, occupancy etc -
see script below). However the output of this script is null. Maybe
somebody can give me a hint what am I doing wrong here.

I used to do this type of analysis with CARNAL and it always worked
pretty nice but since now I am using ptraj for almost all analysis, I
thought of using ptraj for this one as well. However, all the examples
that I found an the amber archive were about solvent interactions in
which the definition of donor and acceptors were exact.

Best wishes
vlad
