If your volume is changing, system density is already reported in the 
simulation .edr file. Use g_energy to get it. grompp probably reported 
the initial density.

What do you mean by this last sentence?

Yes. As above, or using your command if your .xtc has saved coordinates 
for the whole system between those times.

It should work as above.
