Because, as I said, that's not what the -rerun function does.  The -rerun 
function simple re-evaluates the energies of the existing frames according to 
the topology in the .tpr file, thus allowing you to re-calculate energy terms 
based on new energy groups or a modified topology.  If a frame does not exist, 
you cannot create it magically.  If you didn't save the frame you needed, you 
need to run a new simulation.  There is no way to interpolate new frames.
