Elisa, I don't see any clear problem in your input, but sometimes even
small details, like one extra or missing space in the input can cause
problems. In particular, I remember that I had a problem once with a
missing space in the restraint file (DISANG file).

Here I copy a pair of input and nmropt restraint files that works for
me, so you can try to copy the format. Hopefully, that will solve the
problem.

Input file:

 &cntrl
   imin = 0,
   irest = 0,
   ntx = 1,
   ntb = 1,
   cut = 10,
   ntp = 0, pres0 = 1.0, taup = 2.0,
   ntt = 3, tempi = 10, temp0 = 298,
   gamma_ln = 2.0, ig = -1,
   ntc = 2, ntf = 2,
   nstlim = 50000, dt = 0.002,
   ntpr = 5000, ntwx = 5000, ntwr = 5000,
   ioutfm = 1,
   nmropt = 1,
 /
&wt type='END', /
DISANG=restraint-distance

Restraint file:

# Restraint on unless bicarbonate distance to two atoms in protein is
less than 3A.
# 1230 BCA C 631 ALA C 5
 &rst
  ixpk= 0, nxpk= 0, iat= 19561, 10245, r1= 1.00, r2= 1.10, r3=3.00, r4=3.50,
      rk2=5.0, rk3=5.0, ir6=1, ialtd=0,
 &end
#
# 1230 BCA C 31 ALA CB 5
 &rst
  ixpk= 0, nxpk= 0, iat= 19560, 534, r1= 1.00, r2= 1.10, r3=3.00, r4=3.50,
&end

Also, I imagine that you have a working installation of pmemd.cuda,
right? Does it work fine with other inputs?

Ignacio
