In principle, your index group should contain all (P,N) pairs such that the 
overall group size is a multiple of two.  I believe the index group has to be in 
a particular order, like P N P N etc, not all P atoms then all N atoms.

A workaround (though tedious) is to have each (P,N) pair in its own group and do 
the analysis.  You can then obtain averages or distributions of values.  In 
principle though, this should not be necessary.
