If your input coordinates are blank you need to figure out why they
are not being written by tleap. When you perform your 'saveamberparm'
command pay close attention to the output - are any warnings/errors
listed there? Obtaining just a PDB isn't a good test here because
'saveamberparm' is a bit more "strict" in the sense that more
error-checking is performed.

The Amber restart-writing capability of VMD has been broken for as
long as I can remember. At any rate, you're better off trying to
figure out what went wrong prior to this rather than use this as a
workaround.
