Is your system a protein or a nucleic acid? If not, it doesn't make good
sense to use ff99SB.

Look at the "in.mol2" file; I doubt that it is much different from the input
file. See if it has gaff atoms types (lower case).

Check the output carefully. As far as I can see, parmchk doesn't even have a
"-f ac" option. I'm not sure what you will be getting, nor do I understand
why you are using ANTECHAMBER_AC.AC as your input file. The various
ANTECHAMBER* files are intermediates that mainly intended for debugging.

It may be that all of the parameters you need are already in parm99.dat;
without knowing what sort of molecule you are working on, it's hard to say
more.

You have to examine your various files. Mol2 files already have atom types in
them, so antehcamber may be keeping those. When a pdb file is input,
antechamber has to generate atom types.

Of course, people on the list can't be expected to help much with so little
information.
...good luck...dac
