You might have better luck running pdb2pqr directly, instead of having pymol run it for you. I'd try downloading the recent version (I think it's on sourceforge), and possibly trying different forcefield parameters. You can then load the pqr file into pymol using apbs tools, or use it directly with apbs.

I tried to generate a pqr file to read it in Pymol, but the Ca is not taken into account, so I tried to add directly the line correspondind to the ion in the pqr file but it failed. Any suggestion?
