You haven't told us which force field you're trying to use, but I'm guessing 
that the chloride .rtp entry is probably named "CL" instead of "CL-" (which is 
used by the ffG* force fields).  You can check the .rtp file to be sure.

Also, I would strongly suggest upgrading to version 4.0.7 - there have been 
numerous bug fixes and performance upgrades since version 4.0.
