Right, residue names are irrelevant.  Group names are dependent upon either 
[moleculetype] or index group names.

Seems the code does not accept "energy_grps" unless there's some weird function 
I'm not aware of.  In any case, it's probably not relevant to your problem.  If 
you send me (off-list) your .gro, .top, and .mdp file, I will try to 
troubleshoot the problem and post back if/when I find it.
