This script as written will give only the trajectory at 267 K. It
should be something like:
trajin remd.mdcrd.001 remdtraj remdtrajtemp $T
trajout remd.Ttraj.$T
FYI you may be interested in trying the 'ensemble' command in cpptraj,
which will sort and process all temperatures at once. For example, the
input to cpptraj in your case would be (no 'for' loop required):
ensemble remd.mdcrd.001
trajout remd.Ttraj
You would obtain trajectory files 'remd.Ttraj.X', where X corresponds
to a position sorted temperature list starting from 0. You can also do
some simple actions on the entire ensemble at once (calculate
distances, rmsds etc).

Unfortunately there is no easy answer here, and without knowing more
about what your system actually is I can only speculate. Do you have
experimental evidence for what the population should be at 267 K? Also
267 K is getting pretty cold, and some proteins do undergo a
phenomenon known as "cold denaturation" (although usually a
temperatures a little colder). If you started your REMD simulation
with a conformation other than native it could be that you haven't run
long enough and your ensemble simply hasn't converged. Do you have at
least one other independent REMD simulation that gives similar
results?
Hope this helps,
