None of this really makes any sense to me.  The coordinates in the .trr and .xtc 
aren't different, aside from precision.  So it strikes me as wildly unlikely 
that the contents of one are different from the other, unless one file is 
corrupt.  In any case, verifying the contents of the .trr is irrelevant.  Did 
you try what I suggested with trjconv?  Try dumping just the first frame of the 
.xtc and look at it.  Any nonsense coordinates should be blatantly obvious.
