However according to your PTRAJ output, residue 249 does not contain
an atom named O4:

If you are identifying atoms by selecting them in VMD, be aware that
the 'residue' field numbering starts from 0. When using Amber
topologies in VMD it is better to use the 'resid' field, which starts
from 1 (this is the convention all Amber programs follow).

You can easily test the results of mask selection in cpptraj's
interactive mode with the 'select' or 'parminfo' commands.

Hope this helps,
