Could you please try replacing the RAMA term with the newer torsionDB
term. Setup in your script should be:

from torsionDBPotTools import create_TorsionDBPot
torsionDBPot = create_TorsionDBPot('tDB')
potList.append( torsionDBPot )
rampedParams.append( MultRamp(.002,2,"torsionDBPot.setScale(VALUE)") )

Hopefully, this will solve the problem...

best regards--
Charles
