300 isn't reasonable for trpcage, even if you use the wrong prmtop.
the molecule just isn't that big. even if you scramble the atoms it
would only be 20 or so. it looks like you're not doing a best fit, or
something like that. you should visually inspect the mdcrd file (since
it's not that large). in order to get rmsd that large, you must have
coordinates in those frames that differ among atoms by 300 or so-
otherwise the rmsd can't be that large. if they look reasonable, it's
something in the fitting.
what would help us is if you
1) calculate the energies at each step (ntpr=1) in addition to writing
them. if the energies are ok, the rmsd can't be that large
2) show us the ptraj script that you used to calculate rmsd.
