As you point out, a unit does not need a HEAD and TAIL unless you intend
to include it into the middle of a polymers sequence with covalent bonds.

Looks you you are missing the title card or the MASS keyword in your frcmod
file. There are a number of examples of frcmod files in the
$AMBERHOME/test/antechamber directories; comare you file to those. If that
doesn't help, you will have to post your frcmod file.
