David:
The solution you suggest will only work with grompp, but not with
tools like pdb2gmx who also use files from /top.

Paul:
You only report problems with pdb2gmx looking in the wrong directory.
Is grompp also looking up the same dir?

I suppose there must be something wrong with the path variables.
Doublecheck $GMXDATA and possible interference with .[shell]rc and
or GMXRC (perhaps you have set $GMXDATA before sourcing GMXRC or something
like that)

Or it is a bug (or feature ;-) of pdb2gmx. Maybe one of the developers
could comment on where it looksa for the top's.
