Did you read what the ATB told you about the topologies it generates, and
what forcefield you have to use?  There is a warning posted on the page
where you download your topology files that applies directly to this error
you have encountered:

"*Warning!* This molecule contains non-standard atom types not included in
the standard GROMOS 54A7 forcefield. To use these atom types the internal
GROMACS parameter files must be updated. These can be downloaded using the
link below. Instructions on where to place (and how to use) the files are
provided in the README file included in the archive."

ATB uses GROMOS 54a7 ATB, and you have to download and use that forcefield
for any molecules you generate using that server.  You cannot just mix it
with GROMOS 53a6 like you have tried to, since 54a7_atb has additional atom
types.

Stick with a single forcefield, do not mix then because the vast majority
are not compatible in that manner.

Catch ya,
