AMBER: using NAB to calculate normal modes

Hello,
I'm using the newton and nmode functions of NAB to predict normal modes.
(I followed section 6.3 of NAB tutorial.) This is the input file I am
using:

---------------------------nmode.nab-------------
molecule m;
float x[1467], fret;

m = getpdb_prm( "1bfeMin.pdb","leaprc.ff96", "", 0 );
mm_options( "cut=16.0, ntpr=50, gb=1, gbsa=1" );
mme_init( m, NULL, "::z", x, NULL);
setxyz_from_mol(m, NULL, x);

//conjugate gradient minimization
conjgrad(x, 3*m.natoms, fret, mme, 0.1, 0.001, 2000);

//Newton-Raphson minimization
mm_options( "ntpr=1" );
newton( x, 3*m.natoms, fret, mme, mme2, 0.00000001, 0.0, 6 );

//get the normal modes:
nmode( x, 3*m.natoms, mme2, 0);
---------------------------------------------------

When I run and look at the results, I can not get any meaningful
results. This is the output file I am getting:

Anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
