hello tenghl
about your error message it's simple =)
just compare my conversion and yours.
from:
ATOM      1  P     G A   1       0.725   5.825   6.597
ATOM      2  O1P   G A   1      -0.733   6.049   6.475
ATOM      3  O2P   G A   1       1.328   6.176   7.902
to:
ATOM      1  P   DGUAA   1       0.725   5.825   6.597
ATOM      2  O1P DGUAA   1      -0.733   6.049   6.475
ATOM      3  O2P DGUAA   1       1.328   6.176   7.902

as you can see chain ID, residue N, coordinates in the same place.
