The output file (mdout) lists what atoms are being restrained; please
refer to this to see if the atoms are being selected appropriately. Also
note that an alternative syntax (if the above is not being parsed
correctly) would be

restraintmask = '.10-20 | .25 | .26 | .28-38'

Finally, the atoms will not be "fixed" or constrained but restrained, i.e.
there will be force to move them back to the desired position...
