You need to run the command line should look more like this:

$MMPBSA.py -i mmpbsa.in -sp complex_solvated.prmtop -cp complex.prmtop -rp
rec.prmtop -lp lig.prmtop -mc mutant_complex_prmtop -mr
mutant_receptor_prmtop -ml mutant_ligand_prmtop -y complex_md2.mdcrd

If you do 'MMPBSA.py --help' you will see the options for the command line
and what they mean.

Usage: MMPBSA.py {-O} -i inputfile \
                      -o output_file \
                      -sp solvated_prmtop \
                      -cp complex_prmtop \
                      -rp receptor_prmtop \
                      -lp ligand_prmtop \
                      -y mdcrd1 mdcrd2 mdcrd3 ... mdcrdN \
                     {-do decomp_output_file} \
                     {-yr receptor_mdcrd1 ... receptor_mdcrdN} \
                     {-yl ligand_mdcrd1 ... ligand_mdcrdN} \
                     {-mc mutant_complex_prmtop} \
                     {-mr mutant_receptor_prmtop} \
                     {-ml mutant_ligand_prmtop} \
                     {-srp solvated_receptor_prmtop} \
                     {-slp solvated_ligand_prmtop} \
                     {-make-mdins} || {-use-mdins} || {-compile-output}

You were excluding the flags for the mutant prmtops. If you specify the
&ala_scan section in your input, then the script will run the MMPBSA
calculation for the wild-type system and the mutant system in the same run.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Good luck!
