What did you set as nstxout and nstvout?  Depending on what you set for these 
parameters, you may not get much in the .trr file; the final frame should have 
been written, however.  Maybe something went wrong with the filesystem (a blip), 
and the output was suppressed.  I've had that happen when a simulation is 
finishing and a .gro file is written, but has nothing in it.

What kind of pressure coupling are you using (if any)?

In general, posting the text of your .mdp file is a good idea.  That way, the 
answers to my questions above are answered :)
