did you also define the corresponding interactions, e.g. bonds,
angles, dihedrals and so on in the .psf file?
having parameters in the parameter file alone only works for
non-bonded interactions.

have you tried running a test system, equivalent to the
one in the publication that you took the parameters from?
interactions to multi-valent, heavy atoms are difficult to
model with a simple force field. frequently a significant
redistribution of charges happens around the ion, which
would be very much dependent on the specific environment.
