It works for me for small clusters, I ahvenot done bulk simulations recently. 
If you are still having problems, send me
your files off list and I will take a look. I can also provide you with
boxes, just let me know the size you are looking for.

The most recent shell-model ion parameters are:

@Article{Lamoureux2006b,
  author =       {G. Lamoureux and B. Roux},
  title =        {Absolute Hydration Free Energy Scale for Alkali and
                  Halide Ions Established from Simulations with a
                  Polarizable Force Field},
  journal =      BTjpcb,
  year =         2006,
  volume =       117,
  pages =        {3308--3322},
  OPTabstract =  {},
  OPTnote =      {},
  OPTurl =       {http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jp056043p}
}

But I have not tested them with SW...
