Then you have done something incorrectly in your creation of the .rtp entry; 
probably incorrect naming.  If you intend on using TFE as a solvent, it is much 
easier to create a simple .itp file for it and #include it in your system 
topology.  Generally, .rtp entries are building blocks for common macromolecules 
(although there are a few exceptions, i.e. NADH, ATP, and a few others commonly 
associated with proteins).
