Hi,
Atom renaming isn't supported in psfgen, but I think you can do your
entire "unpatching" process more cleanly in the latest VMD, which can now
write psf files containing full bond/angle/dihedral/improper/... data from
an atom selection. In VMD you can rename atoms something something like:
[atomselect top "resname FOO and name BARX BARY"] set name BAR
Then to write out:
set a [atomselect top "...lambda 0 atoms..."]
$a writepsf a_lam0.psf
$a writepdb a_lam0.pdb
If you want to do this to the output trajectory then use catdcd.
