Not all combinations of options are compatible, and mdrun already told you 
exactly what to do.  If you want to use DD, you can't use "nstype = simple," so 
you have to invoke mdrun -pd in this case or otherwise switch to "nstype = 
grid."  How you proceed depends on what you're trying to achieve with your .mdp 
settings.
