the code matches what you wrote. are you sure that is the correct #
atoms in the mask? check the sander output and see what is says for
each of your masks.

I was applying restrain force on all the heavy atoms (NTTGTRMS = 953) but aligning the structure with the reference structure based on their C* trace (120 C* atoms). I was trying to calculate the Restrain potential from the following equation in the Amber10 manual:

I have considered RMSD as "Current RMSD from reference" and TGTRMSD as "Current target RMSD" (please see the example below). Why there is such deviation? I guess it is not truncation error or something like that.
