In this case, it's probably not a significant warning, the reason being that the 
atom types are unchanged.  grompp notices that you're changing the charges, so 
technically the B-state is different, in which case new bonded parameters 
(strictly speaking) are required, because the molecule is different.  In this 
case, the bond wouldn't change, so copying the A-state parameters to the B-state 
is probably fine.  It's a moot point if you are using constraints.

Here's where things don't make sense.  Where are you getting the B-state 
charges?  They're giving you a fractional net charge.  If you're going from GLUH 
-> GLU, then everything is simple; just copy the charges from the .rtp entries. 
  Your numbers are similar, but not identical, to GLU in the B-state.
