PDB files contain only very limited topology (i.e. connectivity)
information - most of it is inferred. Programs like VMD and cpptraj
try to do their best to determine the missing information, but if the
structure has problems (is distorted, missing residues, etc) this can
fail. Your best bet may be to actually build the system and generate a
topology (via e.g. pdb4amber and leap) and use that in place of the
original pdb.
Good luck,
