Jason,
the test ran fine for me but I do have a few comments:
1) make sure that ntwx is set to less than nstlim or you won't get
trajectory output.
The same goes for things like nscm. This is the same as what you would
normally
need to do for a sander run. We will make this more flexible in Amber10.
2) make sure to specify a trajectory file name in the groupfile. Yours does
not, which makes
all replicas default to mdcrd (the same file).
3) it seems to run ok, I get this output:
Running multisander version of sander amber9
Total processors = 8
Number of groups = 2
and the remlog shows the exchanges are working fine.
The number of processors is passed to sander from MPI, I am not sure
why it is giving you 1 when it works ok for me and sander gets a value of 8.
Your script seems ok but you might try to simplify it a little or check the
machinefile that you generated to make sure it has 8 entries.
