"Think" is not as definite as "know" - computers are literal, so you must be, too.

Why are you running pdb2gmx twice?  Unless you have multiple proteins, and need 
multiple topologies, you should not be doing this.

You realize that the units of -d are nm, right?  Do you need such a huge 
solute-box distance?

OK, here's the likely problem.  If you're running pdb2gmx twice, you are 
probably doing different things.  So you're making an index file from a .pdb 
file that was perhaps treated differently than the .gro file that corresponds to 
a6.top.  Use the .gro file as input into make_ndx and see if that alleviates the 
problem.

This *should* work, provided the .ndx file is what you actually think it is, and 
you are using the correct topology.
