They need to be set correctly. Check the _MMPBSA_gb_qmmm_com.mdin,
_MMPBSA_gb_qmmm_rec.mdin, and _MMPBSA_gb_qmmm_lig.mdin and make sure
that the input looks correct.

Either you made a mistake about what residues you really selected or
MMPBSA.py made a mistake writing the input files. From the information
you gave I don't know which one it is.

HTH,
