FYI there is no time during energy minimization, so you did not do "2 ns" of 
minimization.

This is probably a periodicity effect.  There's no way during the course of 
minimization that a ligand-protein complex can completely dissociate.  Use 
trjconv to make sure you've properly re-imaged the system.  A simple recentering 
should do it.
