Molecules can't disappear.  Either you never added the ligand or your attempts 
to visualize it are using the wrong residue name.  Open the coordinate file in a

You won't get a .trr unless you ask for one by setting nst[xvf]out > 0.

If you followed my tutorial, you should know the answer to that already :)
