AMBER: mm_pbsa does not terminate

Dear AMBER help list,

I am running mm_pbsa on a trajectory using the input file pasted below.
Unfortunately the job seems to never end, and produces an enormous output file
(mymm_pbsad01.log). In this output file, the message

    No values for MM_ELE existing -> Skipping
    Processing PB PBTOT
        Doing 1 PB PBSOL
        Doing 1 MM GAS

is repeated over and over again in what seems like a never-ending loop.

Can someone please advise me on this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Holly Freedman

#
#   mm_pbsa allows to calculate (absolute) free energies for one molecular
#     species or a free energy difference according to:
#
#     Receptor + Ligand = Complex, 
#     DeltaG = G(Complex) - G(Receptor) - G(Ligand).
#
#   PREFIX - To the prefix, "{_com, _rec, _lig}.crd.Number" is added during 
#            generation of snapshots as well as during mm_pbsa calculations.
#   PATH - Specifies the location where to store or get snapshots.
#
#   COMPLEX - Set to 1 if free energy difference is calculated.
#   RECEPTOR - Set to 1 if either (absolute) free energy or free energy
#              difference are calculated.
#   LIGAND - Set to 1 if free energy difference is calculated.
#
#   COMPT - parmtop file for the complex (not necessary for option GC).
#   RECPT - parmtop file for the receptor (not necessary for option GC).
#   LIGPT - parmtop file for the ligand (not necessary for option GC).
#
#   GC - Snapshots are generated from trajectories (see below).
#   AS - Residues are mutated during generation of snapshots from trajectories.
#   DC - Decompose the free energies into individual contributions 
#        (only works with MM and GB).
#
#   MM - Calculation of gas phase energies using sander.
#   GB - Calculation of desolvation free energies using the GB models in sander
#        (see below).
#   PB - Calculation of desolvation free energies using delphi (see below).
#   MS - Calculation of nonpolar contributions to desolvation using molsurf
#        (see below).
#        If MS == 0, nonpolar contributions are calculated with the LCPO method
#        in sander.
#   NM - Calculation of entropies with nmode.

.PB
#
# PB parameters (this section is only relevant if PB = 1 above)
#
#   The following parameters are passed to the PB solver.
#   Additional parameters (e.g. SALT) may be added here.
#   For further details see the delphi and pbsa documentation.
#
#   PROC - Determines which method is used for solving the PB equation:
#          If PROC = 1, the delphi program is applied. If PROC = 2,
#           the pbsa program of the AMBER suite is used.
#   REFE - Determines which reference state is taken for PB calc:
#          If REFE = 0, reaction field energy is calculated with EXDI/INDI.
#            Here, INDI must agree with DIELC from MM part.
#          If REFE > 0 && INDI > 1.0, the difference of total energies for
#            combinations EXDI,INDI and 1.0,INDI is calculated.
#            The electrostatic contribution is NOT taken from sander here.
#   INDI - Dielectric constant for the molecule.
#   EXDI - Dielectric constant for the surrounding solvent.
#   SCALE - Lattice spacing in no. of grids per Angstrom.
#   LINIT - No. of iterations with linear PB equation.
#   PRBRAD - Solvent probe radius in A (e.g. use 1.4 with the PARSE parameter se
t
#     and 1.6 with the radii optimized by R. Luo)
#
#   Parameters for pbsa only
#
#   RADIOPT - Option to set up atomic avity radii for molecular surface calculat
ion
#     and dielectric assignment. A value of 0 uses the cavity radii from the prm
top file.
#     A value of 1 sets up optimized cavity radii at the pbsa initialization pha
se.
#     The latter radii are optimized for model compounds of proteins only; use c
autions
#     when applying these radii to nucleic acids.
#
#   Parameters for delphi only
#
#   FOCUS - If FOCUS > 0, subsequent (multiple) PERFIL and SCALE parameters are
#     used for multiple delphi calculations using the focussing technique.
#     The # of _focussing_ delphi calculations thus equals the value of FOCUS.
#   PERFIL - Percentage of the lattice that the largest linear dimension of the
#            molecule will fill.
#   CHARGE - Name of the charge file.
#   SIZE - Name of the size (radii) file.
#
#   SURFTEN / SURFOFF - Values used to compute the nonpolar contribution Gnp to
#                  the desolvation according to Gnp = SURFTEN * SASA + SURFOFF.
