To give you an idea about this error message I found following link

http://www.ncsu.edu/chemistry/franzen/public_html/CH795N/projects/GFP_MD.htm

It says that:

A common error arises from the fact that *Mutator* writes cross terms at
the bottom of the psf file. to solve the problem delete those lines.

If I delete those lines then it works fine.

Do you think it is a right choice?

Thanks
