Your "literature" values are sigma (in Å) and epsilon (in kJ/mol). Amber
uses Rmin/2 (in Å) and epsilon in kcal/mol. If you convert to what
Amber uses, you will find that they match.

I agree that there are situations where it would be quite helpful if
parmed could print more information when it finds problems. Volunteers
are hereby solicited.

General advice: upgrade to AmberTools17. Second, if you think that your
water model might be leading to off-diagonal LJ parms, do some exploring:
make a prmtop with just water (for example), and see what parmed says. Keep
adding in components one by one to see if you can isolate the problem.

...good luck....dac
