For RNA/DNA hybrids, you have to explicitly edit your pdb files to use
unambiguous residue names. That is, your DNA residues have to be named
DA, DC, DG, DT, and the RNA ones RA, RC, RG and RU. With the standard leaprc
files, I think you also need to add a "5" to the 5' end and a "3" to the 3'
end of each strand.
