I'm assuming you're still using MARTINI?  They provide scripts that will write 
the topology for you.  If you're using those and still having trouble, be aware 
that those scripts are not as intelligent as pdb2gmx.  They will write the 
topology regardless of whether or not all the atoms are present in your starting 
structure.  That is, if you tell it there is an ARG residue, but the original 
.pdb file has missing atoms in that residue, the MARTINI scripts will happily 
write a topology for an intact residue, but you will still be missing atoms in 
the structure.  At least one other user struggled with this issue not too long ago.
