Comments are embedded throughout.  There are several errors, some related to 
your problem, and others that you should definitely fix before you expect to run 
any real dynamics.

I would fix these, if you haven't already!  Otherwise, you won't get the 
dynamics you expect...

Without seeing the contents of tfe.itp, the best I can guess is this: you've 
declared #include "ffoplsaa.itp" (as shown below), but you're using an atomtype 
called "C," which, if you look for such an atomtype within ffoplsaa.atp, you 
will not find.  Thus, unless you have defined additional atomtypes within 
tfe.itp, you will always get this message.

Are you sure your model is compatible with OPLS-AA?  You don't have all the 
hydrogens on the alcohol carbon...CF3CH2OH, right?

Don't break up information about water!  The [ position_restraints ] section 
must follow #define "spce.itp," otherwise it will be assigned to TFE.
