In addition to the comments already about ensuring you have the right bound
configuration, and that maybe implicit solvent and/or your forcefield may
just not work, did you have SASA on in your config file? I think by
default it is off, and turning it on will attempt to more fully capture the
hydrophobic effect (I think that without it you are essentially working
with 80-90% of the effect due having CDW interactions between protein and
ligand, but none for water).
