[AMBER] Analysis of protein-ligand hydrogen bonds for dimer system

Dear Amber Users!
I am using the following command to calculate hydrogen bonds between
protein and ligand during molecular dynamics:

hbond contacts :1-304|:lig out hb.xvg avgout HBavg.log nointramol time 0.05

It works well in the case of the dimer containing 2 monomers of 304
amino acids + ligand bound to the first monomer.
But when I apply it (using the same script) for a slightly different
system (still containing ligand bound to the first monomer) it
produces wrong results in the case when the monomer consists of less
than 304 amino acids. In this case the intramolecular hydrogen bonds
(probably between two monomers) are also taken into account (in spite
of the "nointramol" option provided for hbond):

Here is the output of the command for the complex with the monomer of
301 residues:

Could you provide a more flexible atom mask for the selection e.g. to
select all amino acids in the chain A or alternatively ignore any
protien-protein interactions (e.g. between 2 monomers)?
Many thanks in advance
Cheers
Enrico
