I can't reproduce this problem.  I made a slight modification to the coordinates 
you posted to build CVAL so I could process the structure.  It worked fine with 
version 4.0.7 (I don't have 4.0.4 installed any more).

I would recommend that you upgrade to the latest version (4.5.1) instead of one 
that is over a year and a half old.  The biggest benefit (aside from bug fixes) 
is that the Amber force fields are now natively supported, no more manual 
editing of residue names, termini, etc.

If the problem persists (which it shouldn't, as I have also processed the file 
with version 4.5.1), then post again with the results.

P.S. If you want to test what I did, here's the .pdb file I used.  I opened 
yours in xLeap to build the termini.
