The tutorial is not compatible with version 3.3.3, based on the commands.  The 
expectations regarding Gromacs version are explained in the tutorial's first page.

As far as the tutorial, it is up-to-date with instructions for 4.0.x 
(principally) and 4.5.x (via some side notes).  The problem the OP is having is 
from not following directions closely enough.  CA is a Gromos87 atomtype, being 
called from the lipid.itp nonbonded section.  Proper removal of incompatible 
parameters and subsequent extension of Gromos96 is one of the central features 
of the tutorial.
