The fact that grompp completes indicates there is nothing syntactically wrong 
with the input files.  Whether or not the content of the .mdp is physically 
sensible or the input configuration is plausible is an entirely different 
matter.  Please tell us what the exact outcome of the previous energy 
minimization was (potential energy, maximum force, copied and pasted from screen 
output or .log file).

You have presented no evidence that would lead anyone to believe the problem is 
with mdrun.  In the vast majority of cases, user input is the problem.
