Again, it is hard to debug the problem if we do not have access to
the trajectories - there might be plenty of reasons for your troubles.
If you want me to help, make the trajectory file available to me, either
by sending it to me via private email, or putting it somewhere onto the web.

In this case, could you also provide the commands that you wanted to use
to achieve what you want? Because you write about "unwrapping the
trajectory" (which would be "pbc unwrap") and "back into the central
cell" (which would be "pbc wrap").
