Instead of analyzing a coordinate file, does it work with a trajectory? 
Regarding g_polystat and the nan's, what command are you issuing?

From reading the gmx threads I've found that Nan stands for "Not a Number", but why do these "nan" values appear and how can I prevent it so that I can read in my results?
