It's the atomic number.  Different force fields have their lines parsed 
differently, unfortunately, so you have to adhere to the existing format.  Add a 
zero in the column for atom number and see if this improves the situation.  I 
would recommend not using ffgmx for anything, though.  The newer manual gives 
several reasons why it's a bad choice for just about any modern simulation.
