So you're basically looking to play the pull-together trajectory backwards in 
time?  I don't think there's any easier way to do it, but wouldn't it just be 
easier to carry out the normal RMSD analysis and simply renumber the resulting 
times in the .xvg file?  The coordinates are all the same, just in a different 
(but still sequential) order.
