This is normal.  Please see the MARTINI documentation - it explicitly describes 
what each script, etc. is doing - the initial CG structure contains generic atom 
names, which are replaced in this step.

As a note, this is pretty much the *only* situation where mismatches are useful 
or appropriate.  Most of the time (as we have seen recently), mismatches lead to 
catastrophic problems later :)
