Ok, Elisa sent me the input files and I figured it out.

Elisa, this is why I asked you to copy and paste my
input file directly to your computer and use it.

It's hard to tell in emails, but you have a single space
in front of each of the following lines of your input file,
like so:

space
|
v

 DISANG=dist_chi.RST
 DUMPAVE=restraint.log
 LISTIN=POUT
 LISTOUT=POUT
 &end
 Keep DNA fixed with weak restraints
 0.05
 RES 1 48
 END
 END

That is enough to confuse pmemd (at least old versions).
Here is the correct run_md.in file:

run: MD
 &cntrl
 imin = 0, irest = 0 , ntx = 1,
 nstlim = 2500000, dt = 0.002,
 ntc = 2 , ntf = 2,
 ntt = 3, gamma_ln = 2.0,
 tempi = 298.0, temp0 =298.0,
 ntb = 1 ,
 ntpr = 250 , ntwx = 250, ntwr = 500 ,
 cut = 9,
 ig = -1
 ioutfm = 1,
 nmropt=1,
 ntr=1
 /
 &ewald
 nfft1 = 90,
 nfft2 = 90,
 nfft3 = 90,
 /
 &wt type='DUMPFREQ', istep1=1, /
 &wt type='END' /
DISANG=dist_chi.RST
DUMPAVE=restraint.log
LISTIN=POUT
LISTOUT=POUT
&end
Keep DNA fixed with weak restraints
0.05
RES 1 48
END
END

Like I said, old versions of pmemd are very finicky.
This *should* work now, but upgrading to
amber12 would make your life, and ours, easier =)
I hope this helps (fingers crossed).

Also, Dave's comments about the ewald section still
apply
