To add a little to Dave's advice, this often occurs when the solvated
prmtop without the atoms defined in strip_mask *doesn't* match the complex
prmtop you are using. It can also happen when the ligand mask doesn't
match the ligand component of the complex prmtop.
If you are using the CHARMM force field through the 'chamber' program (or
the ParmEd 'chamber' action), then the water and ions have different names
than Amber uses (TIP3 for water, SOD for sodium, and CLA for chloride, for
example). You will need to set the "strip_mask" variable in the &general
section of your input file to remove the necessary atoms from the solvated
system.
Another comment I'll make is that even after you do this, the only mode
that MMPBSA.py really supports for doing membrane binding energies is to
consider the lipids explicitly (there are no membrane GB models in Amber,
and MMPBSA.py doesn't support the PB membrane options). There are better
approaches to computing reaction fields in membrane environments using PB,
and you will likely have to carry those out by hand using either the
membrane options in PBSA or those in APBS. This is, of course, assuming
that your lipids are in a membrane and not a single one bound in some way
to a protein.
