OK, so there's probably some problem with file system availability on 
the cluster, and/or returning output files to the user. We can't help 
you there.

This sort of detail and differential diagnosis would have been a good 
thing to say the first time you described your problem. See the final 
link here - http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/Support

This looks like asking for trouble, if _s and _d are your suffixes for 
single and double. Don't mix them. If you've erroneously retyped them, 
then that's not helpful information for us. Computers are literal, and 
we can only help you work out what you've told it wrongly if you tell us 
the same thing - so write a script and/or copy-paste things so that you 
are reproducible.
