You have numerous problems with this .pdb file:

1. All residues are listed as being the 3' end form.  Your chain should start 
with a 5' end, include the "middle" residues, and end with a 3' form.

2. 5' ends do not have phosphate on them, per force field convention.

3. You have various incorrect atoms, and some incorrect atom names.

Please refer to the dna.rtp file for your chosen force field to understand its 
expectations.  Then you will need to manually fix your .pdb file by renaming, 
replacing, or removing whatever is in conflict.
