[AMBER] Error in reordering pH-REMD trajectories

Dear Amber people,

I have 6 pH-REMD .nc trajectory files (from tappo.003 to tappo.008). I used
this script (which already worked fine several times with other systems):

for ph in 3 4 5 6 7 8
do
cat > cpptraj.in << mamihlapinatapai
parm tappo.parm7
trajin tappo.003 remdtraj remdtrajtemp ${ph}.00
autoimage
trajout tappo_${ph}.pdb
mamihlapinatapai
cpptraj tappo.parm7 cpptraj.in
rm -f cpptraj.in
done

For some reason, tappo_7.pdb and tappo_8.pdb were perfectly done, while the
files for the other pH values where empty. If I used cpptraj interactively,
this is what I get:

> parm tappo.parm7
    Reading 'tappo.parm7' as Amber Topology
> trajin tappo.003 remdtraj remdtrajtemp 5.00
    Found 6 replicas.
    Reading 'tappo.003' as Amber NetCDF
> autoimage
    AUTOIMAGE: To box center based on center of mass, anchor is first
molecule.
> trajout tappo_5.pdb
    Writing 'tappo_5.pdb' as PDB
> go

Error: were found and that the target temperature or indices are valid
Error: for this ensemble.

Read 0 frames and processed 0 frames.

The mdout files do not mention any error. Unfortunately, I'm working in
remote and I don't have the chance to visually check the trajectories (the
files are huge). I don't get what is wrong: the .nc files have all the same
dimension, so I'm supposing they are fine. Why some pH values are OK and
some others are not? And why cpptraj says "Found 6 replicas." before
processing and "Target replica not found" after?
