Nowhere in the explanation of the error does it suggest that you should alter 
the .rtp file in this instance.  You have atoms in your structure that are not 
in the .rtp entry.  Specifically, your structure file has an N atom in ACE, but 
ACE only contains CA, C, and O.  The N atom should be the first atom in the next 
residue, not ACE.
