"Proteins" is not a standard group, but from the paste of your .mdp
file it seems you used "Protein" instead, which is correct. Please try
to stick to literal representations.
The real problem seems to be that "xtc_grps" is not correct, but
should be replaced with "xtc-grps". This almost brought me to shouting
"RTFM",  but a quick glance showed that the manual disagrees with the
source code at this point (both for 3.3.1 and 4.0.2). So, not your
fault, really, but the correct line should read

xtc-grps = Protein

Cheers,

Tsjerk
