If you don't specify bond lengths and force constants here, they need to be 
present in ffbonded.itp.  Either approach is fine.  The only issue you had 
before was that you included a function type, which would have explained the 
error you got before.

Same as with [bonds], you cannot have a function type specified here.

Same applies for the dihedrals and impropers.

To avoid another string of incomplete replies, please answer the following 
questions directly.  Remember, I'm trying (very hard) to help you resolve this 
and we're just spinning our wheels.

1. Did you re-run pdb2gmx after modifying the .rtp file?
2. Have you looked into the [bonds] directive in the .top file that pdb2gmx 
created to see if anything is out of place?  Every line should have 5 entries:

atom_i  atom_j  funct  b0  kb

Anything more or less (in this case) is wrong.  Can you identify any problematic 
lines, and if so, to which atoms do they apply?
