Have you tried splitting the harmonic block into four blocks?

How can I set multiple colvars with harmonic restrains? I'm trying to push 4 solute molecules through a small channel -- for that, I am setting 4 different colvars with group1 as one of the solute atoms and group2 as a dummy atom in the channel exit. But in the dcd file, it seems that only one harmonic restraining was initialized (only one molecule enters the channel). The colvars initialization in the .log file seems normal, I already tried to use a bigger force constant, but with no results. DO anyone how if is there something wrong with my colvar config file?
Bellow the colvar settings file I'm using:
colvar.inp:
colvarsTrajFrequency 100
colvar {
name aaa
distance {
group1 {
atomsFile input/gly_a.pdb
atomsCol O
atomsColValue 2.0
}
group2 {
dummyAtom (17.803, 16.004, 25.500)
}
}
}
colvar {
name bbb
distance {
group1 {
atomsFile input/gly_b.pdb
atomsCol O
atomsColValue 2.0
}
group2 {
dummyAtom (-25.433, 15.428, 25.500)
}
}
}
colvar {
name ccc
distance {
group1 {
atomsFile input/gly_c.pdb
atomsCol O
atomsColValue 2.0
}
group2 {
dummyAtom (-2.612, -6.859, 25.500)
}
}
}
colvar {
name ddd
distance {
group1 {
atomsFile input/gly_d.pdb
atomsCol O
atomsColValue 2.0
}
group2 {
dummyAtom (-4.268, 36.770, 25.500)
}
}
}
harmonic {
colvars aaa bbb ccc ddd
forceConstant 20.0 20.0 20.0 20.0
