That last command shouldn't involve index groups at all. Since it also 
break more catastrophically with a space in the filename, I'm guessing 
you've reconstructed what you thought you gave as a command.

Don't.

Computers are literal, and so you should be cutting and pasting your 
exact input and output. Making us guess wastes everybody's time.

Probably you used an -s flag, and the index group you chose is larger 
than the size of the atom set in your trajectory. Compare the contents 
of xtc-groups in your .mdp file with this group you chose with trjconv.
