​This is about as clear of an error message as Amber prints. There is no
atom named OD1 in residue 905. You need to play around with your masks
until you get them right (the ambmask program can help with this).

Given the problems that you are having with ptraj's hbond command, I highly
recommend you use cpptraj from AmberTools 14 and look into the hbond
command there. It does a good job of predicting what the hydrogen bond
donors and acceptors are so all of the donor and acceptor commands are
unnecessary.

HTH,
Jason
