What happens with qmmask='(:5-7,16-18 <:5.0)'? Do you get all the Na+?
All the WAT's?

The qmmask code is calling the same underlying code as ambmask. But maybe
the water positions are not correctly identified when qmmask is invoked.
Or maybe the qm code is doing something funny with WAT residues.

I know this is no solution. But it looks like we would need a real example
to trace down a number of possible problems.
