Several points:
1. if you set restraintmask and restraint_wt, then the group restraints
(after the namelist) should be ignored.
2. You should look at the mdout file carefully: it will tell you how
many atoms are being restrained. Also see if you are getting a
non-zero restraint energy when the energies are printed. Make sure that
residues 694 and 697 are actually chlorides: these refer to "Amber"
residue numbers, not to the residue numbers the chlorides might have had
in the original structure.
3. If you "distances between protein ligand and CL ions ...
to stay unchanged", you should consider setting up internal distance
constraints (via nmropt=1) rather than absolute position restraints.
Having said that, I don't see anything wrong with your input; maybe
others on the list with better eyes will spot something.
