Off the top of my head, I would try either the 'watershell' command
(which will do a simple distance-cutoff-based count of waters near
specified atoms, in this case your ions) or the 'hbond' command
specifying the ions and using the solventdonor/solventacceptor
keywords.

Are you absolutely certain the topology you have has water in it? And
if so, are you sure it's called WAT? I ask because a mask parser
failure would be very unusual. What happens if you just load the
topology and type "resinfo :WAT"? Also, it would be helpful to know
the version of cpptraj you are using.
