Is there a reason you would expect the trajectories to be similar?
even with exactly the same input files, one would expect trajectories
in two distinct runs in the same machine to start diverging after
about 500 steps or so. An usually more significative question is
whether the runs are sampling different regions of the phase space
equally, and you can check that only by comparing average properties
of your system.
now, if for some reason you are really interested in the similarity
among the trajectories, I'd recommend that you take a look at the work
by Dan Sindhikara, J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2009, 5 (6), pp 1624–1631.
I believe he describe some metrics to compare two trajectories there.
Cheers,
Gustavo.
