I don't know. Either you, pdb2gmx or grompp has done something wrong.

Lipids do not use CMAP.

So you have some atom types for which the angle potentials are defined 
when the CMAP is not. That doesn't help find what atom types you are 
using that do not have CMAP definitions.

No. I told you how to start to work out the problem and you seem to have 
ignored it :-)
