You can't have a separate ligand topology for this to work.  It literally needs 
to be a merged [moleculetype] for everything that will participate in distance 
restraints.  That requires creation of an .rtp entry (not .itp file) for pdb2gmx 
to use in creating the topology, in concert with the -merge option.
