Hello,
30 000 steps may still not be large enough to converge to the needed gradient. Take a look at your minimization mdout files. If you scroll to the bottom, it should tell you what the gradient at the last step is, and you may be able to get a better idea of how many steps you have to run in order to get it to converge.
Another option is just to wait until we put the new version on the MM/PBSA tutorial website to download (hopefully by the end of next week).
Good luck!
