Hi Lachele,
I have downloaded the latest glycam parameter files. We have AmberTools
 1.5 installed with bugfixes upto 7. I used the latest glycam parameters to
generate the topology and coordinates files with loading glycam first and
ff99SB second and vice versa.

If I look at the differences in two topology files, the following are
different.
1. One of the angle force constant is different ( 50 kcal/mol*rad^2 vs 30
kcal/mol*rad^2) along with equilibrium angle value (2.094396 rad
vs 2.129302 rad)
2. Number of dihedral types (NPTRA) are different 60 vs 61. Since the
number of dihedral types are one more than other, there are additional
periodicity and phase values added.

Now I have downloaded the latest bugfixes that have upto 22 on
ambermd.orgwebsite. I'll patch the latest bugfixes and will update you
on the list if
there are any differences. If I find the differences after the latest
bugfixes, then I'll send you the pdb, parm7 and rst7 files for my system.


Thank you for your time.


Regards
Sai
