Why not from this point just use parmchk and the mol2 file in tleap?

parmchk -i receptor.mol2 -f mol2 -o receptor.frcmod

Then in tleap:

source leaprc.gaff
loadamberparams receptor.frcmod
MOL = loadmol2 receptor.mol2

and so on.

Also, be cautious - in my opinion the charge scheme you are using
(Gasteiger) isn't really optimal. Ideally you would use RESP-fitting
of ESP obtained at HF/6-31G* level, especially if you're also using
one of the Amber protein force fields (which it seems like you are).
They may be a good rough estimate, but I would do some careful
validation and probably wouldn't use them for anything sensitive.
There are some tools out there that can automate this procedure you
may want to look into (e.g. R.E.D. server).

Hope this helps,
