This sounds like a bad frcmod file. What does your frcmod look like?

I don't think this verbal description helps too much. Are you building this
DNA from scratch or are you starting from a PDB? Did you build the PDB with
nab or nucgen (nab would be the better choice), or are you just letting the
templates in leap build the system? Leap will not do a very good job, so I
encourage you to use nab if that's what you're doing. See the first
tutorial on ambermd.org/tutorials/ on how to do this.

Good luck!
Jason
