Yes, the .ndx and .xpm are "backwards" with respect to one another from the 
top-down perspective.  I wrote a script that does all the mapping if you want 
(parse_hbmap.pl) at 
http://www.bevanlab.biochem.vt.edu/Pages/Personal/justin/scripts.html

It requires some modification of the .ndx file (you have to kill off all the 
lines that don't correspond to the actual hydrogen bonds) but it may save you 
some time to look through it.
