Did you do the run on a GPU?  If so, energygrps don't work.  Use mdrun -rerun to 
calculate interaction energies on CPU.

The molecules not moving is inconsistent with your above statements regarding 
RMSD and variations in hydrogen bonds.  If nothing moved, your RMSD would always 
be zero and the number of hydrogen bonds would not change.  You're probably 
loading the trajectory incorrectly.
