Dear Users ,

  I am trying to use PLUMED with gromacs4.5.4 to perform umbrella sampling 
simulation using replica exchange as implemented within gromacs. I am using 
radius of gyration as the collective variable along which umbrella sampling is 
being performed. However, I find that whenever I try to run replica exchange 
with umbrella sampling using the plumed compiled gromacs, it always crashes 
saying that 

 "The properties of the 23 systems are all the same, there is nothing to 
exchange
For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS
website at http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors";

I had generated 23 replica each corresponding to a particular temperature and 
then used grompp (compiled using plumed ) to generate 23 .tpr file. Now, I use 
only one plumed.dat file . But, running the simulation using command

~/UTIL/OPENMPI/bin/mpirun -np 46  mdrun_plumed_s -multi 23 -replex 500 -s hremd 
-plumed plumed_umb.dat >& log_replica

But, it ctashes..

I have also tried running regular replica exchange simulation without this 
plumed.dat file and then again it crashes saying the same error that it finds 
all replica identical.

However, same simulation with official gromacs 4.5.4 executable ( i.e without 
the plumed plugin) runs without any problem. 
Also, the plumed plugin works great for a single temperature simulation.

So, I wonder whether the plumed plugin is causing any trouble in running 
replica exchange simulation or I am missing something.
Thanks in advance for help
