Each time you use the 'chamber' action in ParmEd, it saves the parm under
the name of the PSF file. So if you use the same command twice, it'll try
to save a parm under the same name. To avoid silently overwriting things,
ParmEd doesn't permit two parms to have the same name.

Yes, this is probably more informational than warning.

This is safely ignored.

Both formats should work fine.
