Presumably you're using PME for long-range electrostatics.  The message you're 
getting is grompp trying to help you realize that with PME it is not possible to 
completely exclude all energetic terms, since the long-range mesh is always 
calculated.  Only short-range nonbonded interactions (LJ and Coulombic terms) 
are excluded in the mechanism above.
