This I think is the real issue here. The fact that your exchange
acceptances are so high from the start indicates to me that your
replica spacing is too close for your desired exchange acceptance of
22%. If you provided complete details of your system (# atoms, #
waters, etc) and the input you gave to the T-REMD generator we might
be better able to help.
