g_rms and g_cluster do different types of RMSD evaluation.  g_rms compares 
against a single reference structure, g_cluster does RMSD between frames to 
decide on clusters, so the output of g_rms is not necessarily an indicator here. 
  You can tell for yourself whether or not the value was suitable by inspecting 
the loads of output that g_cluster provides you, and by visualizing the contents 
of the clusters to ensure that structures that were clustered together are 
reasonably similar.  For a structure that doesn't change much, you'll probably 
get one really big cluster and then a few that are sparsely populated.
