​Extra points do not work with the GB code, but it should have given you an
error (rather than running). I wonder if NAB doesn't have this check (or
if it actually supports EPs...)
That said, these numbers seem to be more caused by inconsistencies between
the generated trajectories and the complex/receptor/ligand topology files.
I would suggest visualizing these trajectories (_MMPBSA_complex.mdcrd.0,
_MMPBSA_receptor.mdcrd.0, etc.) to see if they appear warped. If so, you
need to double-check that you don't have any extra waters or anything in
the complex or receptor topology files, and make sure that the topology
files map correctly onto the trajectory files that are generated.
