Is this the whole stderr stream? It would help to have the output and
error streams, since the error message might be in one of those.

radiopt=1 means use optimized radii. There are quite a few cases where
this does not work because some of your atom types may not be supported by
this model. Setting radiopt=0 often fixes this issue. But this diagnosis
is pure speculation since your output files didn't have enough information
to help me.

Also make sure that your AmberTools 13 is fully up-to-date.
