The -dist option just prints a list of atoms that satisfy the criterion; 
that's not necessarily useful to you.

Use gmx mindist with appropriate selections to get the time series of 
the minimum distance of relevant non-H atoms and your nanotube. Then 
write a simple script that reports some useful quantity, like the first 
time at which the distance criterion was met or the percentage of time 
the distance was below 0.5 nm. This is trivial with something like 
Python or Perl.
