I think this is wrong: you want to run sander in serial mode (i.e. run sander,
not sander.MPI). The "num_threads" argument (or a template file if you use
that) will fire off orca in parallel. (There is no point in running sander
itself in parallel, since the slow part of each step will be the orca part
anyway.)

I don't recognize these as Amber errors. See if the change suggested above
helps.
