are you sure that the atom type "C" is the correct atom type for CNT atoms?

just look into the parameter file:

MASS 20 C 12.01100 C ! carbonyl C, peptide backbone
MASS 21 CA 12.01100 C ! aromatic C
MASS 22 CT1 12.01100 C ! aliphatic sp3 C for CH
MASS 23 CT2 12.01100 C ! aliphatic sp3 C for CH2
MASS 24 CT3 12.01100 C ! aliphatic sp3 C for CH3
MASS 25 CPH1 12.01100 C ! his CG and CD2 carbons
MASS 26 CPH2 12.01100 C ! his CE1 carbon
[...]
