AMBER: torsional restraints in a solvated MD simulation.

I am trying to force a cis -> trans isomerization of a peptide bond
during a standard solvated MD simulation using Amber 8. I have
included a standard torsion restraint file to be applied gradually
during the simulation, but cannot detect any change; furthermore, no
torsional energies are reported in md.out , its as if the restraint is
not being applied. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Tom Pochapsky
 Here is the md control file and the restraint file.
