You haven't provided your genion command line (for the future, please always 
provide the exact command you used), but I suspect I know what the problem is 
anyway.  You added 6 CL- ions, right?  You initially had a +63 charge (6.3e+1 = 
6.3 x 10^1).  Hence you still have an unsatisfied charge of +57.
