I've never seen that error before, but it sounds like there is an atom named 
'CG' in the .rtp entry but not in the coordinate file.  Either the atom is named 
differently or it is missing.

No.  The contents of the input coordinate file must match what is expected by 
the .rtp file.  If you have missing atoms, they must be modeled in using 
external software.
