AMBER: replica exchange with amber9

Hello all,
I am relatively new to AMBER. I have used the tutorials which are excellent to get
myself acquainted with the software. Right now I am trying to do a replica
exchange simulation of a peptide using amber9. I am running into problems.
The simulation stops after the first exchange. I have used the tutorial on the
Amber web page for replica exchange which is for version 10. Probably, this is
causing some problems. Can any one help me figure out the problem or point
me to a tutorial for replica exchange using amber9.
Thanks
Greddy

My input script for the tutorial:
