You haven't provided enough information to diagnose what (if anything) is
going wrong. It would also help to know some common pitfalls that you
checked (e.g., are the topology files and trajectory files generated by
MMPBSA.py compatible? If you visualize them together does it look correct?)

It also appears that you haven't shown us the full output files (but maybe
you have). There are also random slashes that appear in your email, and
I'm not sure why. If the // is present in your input file right after your
&general section, those need to be removed.

HTH,
Jason
