Here is at least one key problem with your script:
aprun -n 768 pmemd -O -i S4F4_md_200ps.in -o S4F4_md200ps32.out -p
SF4.prmtop -c S4F4_heat.rst -r S4F4_md200ps32.rst -x S4F4_md200ps32.mdcrd
You need to be running pmemd.MPI *not* pmemd. You are essentially running the
same (serial) program on every core, and the output is being intermingled.
And, while you are trying to get things working, why not run a much shorter
job? (Set nstlim to 100 or so, with a small value of ntpr.)
Even the correct program (pmemd.MPI) will probably never scale to 768 cores.
Be sure to try a variety of values to optimize this.
