The *actual* error message would be substantially more useful.  Without it, we 
don't know which file trjconv is complaining about.  Also, please copy and paste 
your commands from the terminal instead of trying to replicate what you think 
you typed.  Your problem could be something as simple as a typo (like "trajconv").

As I said before, default groups need not be re-created in an index file.  You 
should simply be able to dump out the protein coordinates from trjconv directly 
with no special intervention.
