Correct: reduce only adds hydrogens for residue that it has in its database.

Have you minimized the ligand by itself? From your min.out file, it looks
like you have two atoms on top of each other. You can use the checkoverlap
command in cpptraj (or maybe the checkValidity command in parmed) to look for
bad atom-atom contacts. Your ligand looks fine to me, and I don't see
anything obviously wrong (quick look!) in the complex.pdb file. This is why
the computerized checks are very helpful.

...good luck...dac
