Hi,

Thanks Branko, Aron and Norman for your input. The issue was solved
although it is unclear why NAMD wasn't taking the path. The path was
correct and the input files were also okay. I have other simulations
with the same path structure and they were working. I am now avoiding
the use of paths in the config file. Thanks again Branko for helping me
to check the files and figure this out!
