Here is the problem, in your lib file:

 ^^^^

The first blank string should be "HMH", not a blank. This is why you are
getting a blank residue id after you load the pdb file. (You can use the
"desc" command after you load the pdb to see what it going on.)

How (in detail) did you create the lib (aka "off") file? We need to figure
out if something was supposed to be inserting this string and was not.
But if you manually fix the lib file, you should be able to get further.

...good luck...dac
