You are using a 2.5 Ang. cutoff for nonbonded interactions. This will never
work, as you found out. You need to use at least 8 Ang. for periodic systems.
This in turn means that you will probably need to make a bigger box: about
18 Ang. on each side is as low as sander will go.

Admittedly, the error message should be better. Current versions of Amber
would not let you put in such a small cutoff.

...good luck...dac
