TIP4P with NPT

I am trying to simulate TIP4P with another small molecule in NAMD, but
get the following error:

/FATAL ERROR: Hydrogen group error caught in rattle1()./

My input file contains, what I believe should allow for NAMD run TIP4P
(portions of the input file are shown below):

/waterModel tip4;
timestep 2.0 ;# fs/step
rigidBonds all ;# needed for 1fs steps
reassignFreq 500
reassignTemp $temperature
langevinPiston on
langevinPistonTarget 1. ;# pressure in bar
langevinPistonPeriod 50. ;# oscillation period around 100 fs
langevinPistonDecay 25. ;# oscillation decay time of 50 fs
langevinPistonTemp $temperature ;# coupled to heat bath
/
This setup works fine in CHARMM (c35b5), but when I use NAMD with the
xplor PSF the only thing I can do is minimize the energy, but
suspiciously the GPRESSURE=9999999999.9999. I believe the pdb/psf to
have the correct order (see below) for the TIP4P atoms so I am not sure
why I am getting this error. Any help would be appreciated.

PDB:
/ATOM 1 OH2 TIP4 1 -3.851 3.226 -10.107 1.00 0.00 WAT
ATOM 2 H1 TIP4 1 -3.319 2.587 -9.632 1.00 0.00 WAT
