Warning: Not all atoms have unique coordinates.

I am trying to run a simulation on the L chain of the protein 1CPC (that is the pdb code). I "think" I have set everything up correctly, however, when I run the simulation there are some things that I am a bit concerned about:

1) I get a warning : Warning: Not all atoms have unique coordinates. (see second line of output below). This warning appears at each step in the console when the energies are outputted.

2) When I start the minimization process the energies values show up as 99999999.9999 (see output below). I believe this is because of the warning above.

So my question is why I am getting those warnings (that not all the atoms have unique coordinates?) This is obviously wrong but I wonder where I went wrong? Would it have been when I generated the PSF structure? Maybe my config file is wrong? I'm not really sure where to start to figure out what is wrong...

I have attached my config file.

thanks for any insight.
