[AMBER] MCPB.py issue - add_bonded_pairs

Dear Amber developers,

I want to obtain force field bonds and angles parameters for Ruthenium
ion that is being a part of a metallocene molecule
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallocene). Those compounds consist
of a metal that is being coordinated by 10 carbon atoms, therefore, as
it is stated in Amber manual, "add_bonded_pairs" instruction must be
specified in MCPB.py input file during first step, since only
Metal-N/O/S/F/Cl/Br/I bonds are originally detected by the program.

Here is my MCPB.py input file:

original_pdb 5ujo_ready.pdb
group_name metal
cut_off 2.5
ion_ids 3927
add_bonded_pairs 3927 3930 3927 3931 3927 3932 3927 3933 3927 3935
3927 3939 3927 3940 3927 3941 3927 3942 3927 3943
ion_mol2files RU.mol2
naa_mol2files 8CY.mol2
frcmod_files 8CY.frcmod
large_opt 1
software_version g09

The error message I have received after executing the files as step one:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/net/software/local/amber/amber16/bin/MCPB.py", line 176, in <module>
    raise pymsmtError('Should be only two numbers in the pairs!')
pymsmtexp.pymsmtError: Should be only two numbers in the pairs!

Deleting all of the bonded pairs except the first one (3927 3930)
produces the same error. However, when I delete 'add_bonded_pairs'
line entirely, the program succeds in creating Gaussian input files,
though they contain only Ruthenium ion (what is correct since by the
default MCPB.py ignores coordinating carbon atoms).

So either I am missing something very obvious here, or there is an
error within MCPB.py code itself.

Would you mind help me resolving this issue?

I attach to this email all of the related files.

Kind regards,
Szymon Żaczek
