MMPBSA.py does not use input files for normal mode entropy calculations.
 All available options are exposed in the &nmode section of the input file.
 The input files you referred to above were written for minimizing
snapshots in sander and running normal mode calculations with the nmode
program.

Normal mode calculations are now run with a nab program that is invoked
through command-line flags.
