Hi,
   removing the HETATMs worked for me when i used AMBER99SB's rtp file.
What force field are you using? Have you added the FOR topology manually (I
know this is besides the point about the problem with serine) AMBER99SB
seemed to only have topology for acetate [ACE]
I am also learning through this.
Sincerely,
Shounak
