I am now using the 4.6.5 version to avoid this sort of error, however I have come across another error which I am not too sure about, it is at the start of the umbrella sampling section of your tutorial, after allocating which frames are to analysed during umbrella sampling. The error reads:

But I am unsure which one should be omitted.

The "continuation" keyword indicates whether or not constraints have already 
been solved, which they have in this case, but it's really irrelevant.  The 
easiest thing to do is just set gen_vel = yes to start a new run.  I thought I 
had corrected this long ago, but apparently not.
