Ok.

But when I run this command
g_rms -s setp_0.pdb -f setp_0.pdb -n ca_ind.ndx -o out

it ask me groups... and that i thought is for fitting///

for example -

------------------------
Select group for least squares fit
Group     0 (C-alpha_chain1) has   249 elements
Group     1 (C-alpha_chain2) has   249 elements
Group     2 (C-alpha_chain3) has   249 elements
Group     3 (C-alpha_chain4) has   249 elements
Select a group: 0
Selected 0: 'C-alpha_chain1'

So group 0 in *each* structure is used for fitting the two structures to each other...

Select group for RMSD calculation
Group     0 (C-alpha_chain1) has   249 elements
Group     1 (C-alpha_chain2) has   249 elements
Group     2 (C-alpha_chain3) has   249 elements
Group     3 (C-alpha_chain4) has   249 elements
Select a group:1
Selected 1: 'C-alpha_chain2'

... and group 1 in *each* structure is then used for the RMSD calculation.

The above is *not* fitting group 0 to group 1, and then measuring the RMSD of group 0 w.r.t. group 1, which sounds about what you want to do. You need my editconf/trjconv approach for that.

It's up to you to determine whether groups 0 and 1 should intersect. This allows you to (say) do an all-C-alpha fit, and then measure only the part of interest. In your case, as Justin said, since the two input structures are the same, you get zero RMSD regardless what else you do.

Notice how giving the command line, inputs and outputs has led to getting useful feedback, rather than the last 10 emails' worth of frustration because nobody knows what the other is talking about :-)
