There are two possibilities:

1. You built the system wrong and trjconv can't fix it.  Without the full 
sequence of commands used to build the system, no one can provide any advice 
here.  Providing an image that shows the unit cell ("pbc box" in the Tcl window 
in VMD) can also be informative in this regard.

2. This is a PBC issue that should be resolvable, probably within a few 
iterations of trjconv.  See 
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Periodic_Boundary_Conditions#Suggested_trjconv_workflow. 
  Often times, it helps to start with a new .tpr file that has the system 
centered properly when remove jumps, etc.
