Look at the output of _MMPBSA_complex_pb.mdout.1. Is there an error message
printed there? My guess is that it has something to do with unassigned
radii, which is fixed by the latest version of AmberTools 13. You can set
inp=1 and radiopt=0 in your input file to bypass this error.

If there is no error message, then it's because the Amber code on TACC is
at bugfix level lower than bugfix.24, and most of the errors I've seen of
this nature are due to the radii issues I referred to above.

Good luck,
Jason
