Well, assuming you have all the correct hydrogens in the right place, 
that's fine, but in general, it is very easy to let pdb2gmx do the work 
for you and use -ignh.  If it generated the topology for you, then 
that's fine.

Here's where your problem is.  This step is unnecessary!  Once you have 
the topology, there is no need to re-process with pdb2gmx.  Once you 
have added solvent and ions, simply make the changes to your topology 
with a text editor.

It has already been correctly pointed out by another user that you 
specified -o .pdb in the above step, but then called for the .gro 
equivalent here.  That would be a problem.

Basically, once the genion step is done, and you have made the 
appropriate changes to the topology (which can also be done with the -p 
flag of genion), then proceed to grompp.

This makes much more sense, and it is easier to get help when it is 
clearly presented like this!
