You are trying to launch the single-process "multicore" binary with
mpiexec. If you look at the simple runbatch script that ships with the
multicore binaries you will see that it does not understand ++mpiexec, so
it is just running "mpiexec -n 80 ..." and therefore you are getting 80
independent copies of "namd2 +p80", which are stepping on top of each
other all trying to write the same dcd file.
