As I suggested a few emails ago, are you sure that -cpi file exists? If 
your numerical suffixes are indexing restarts, then unless you've done 
some manual copying that you haven't told us about, it won't. Your 
filename scheme seems a bit contorted - like you're trying to do the 
work that GROMACS 4.5.x will just do for you if you let it.

Otherwise, you'll have to do some detective work with gmxcheck on the 
-cpi to see what might be the issue.

In your case, an initial

mdrun -deffnm rex_3

(perhaps save some copies while you're experimenting) and subsequently

tpbconv -extend <blah> -f rex_3 -o rex_3
mdrun -deffnm rex_3 -append

will work and be much simpler than whatever you're trying to do with 
filenames :-)
