Problem in running constant pH NAMD job

Hi,
I am trying to do a constant ph namd job on a small protein containing GLU
and LYS residues using NAMD2.14. While running namd my job crashes with
"FATAL ERROR: TCL: argument list must have multiple of 2 arguments! " just
after reading the top_cph36_prot.rtf file. I am following the cph tutorial
distributed along with namd2.14.I have completed normal equilibration of
the same system using the same configuration file ( without consph specific
keywords) and using its restart files as input files for position and
velocity in current consph job. Any help in solving this problem will be
most appreciated.

 A snippet of my configuration file is as follows :
#--------------------------------------------------------------
## constph specific keywords
paraTypeCharmm on
parameters par_all36_prot.prm
parameters toppar_water_ions.str
parameters par_cph36_prot.prm
# Load constant-pH specific topology files
cphConfigFile conf_cph36_prot.json
topology top_cph36_prot.rtf

set pH 5

pH $pH
outputname $pH/c6pep_310
cphMDBasename $pH/namdcph.md
cphSwitchBasename $pH/namdcph.sw

# switch at 15ps
cphNumstepsPerSwitch 7500
# Minimize after randomizing protonation states at start.
cphNumMinSteps 100
# numsteps = 500 => number of steps of conventional MD to be run in between
switches
# numcycles = 5000 => number of MC/MD cycles
cphRun 500 5000

#------------------------------------------------

My logfile is as follows:
