Several of the examples are broken in the latest version.  I have fixed them for 
the upcoming release.  grompp may be failing for these reasons or because you're 
  trying to run the demo without proper admin privileges.  If you try to write 
files to system-level directories, you may lack permission to do so.  This same 
problem was discussed just a week or so ago.
