We would need lots more information to be of much help. You should be able to
see from the mdout file whether you have NOESY penalties being applied or not.
In particular, you can see whether or not the calculated and measured
intensities are close to each other, etc.
There are example files in $AMBERHOME/test/noesy that you can compare to what
you are getting. But, as a beginner, you should certainly run NMR restraint
calculations with "conventional" restraints (as in Tutorial A4) before trying
NOESY volume restraints (which is most definitely a very advanced
application.)

Pick some intense peaks whose assignments are clear, and determine oscale such
that the calculated and measured intensities become as close as they can.
