gen-pairs has to do with generating the parameters for the listed pairs.  If 
you've got no listed pairs, then nothing will be done.  That's incorrect.

I'm not going to go line by line and check your work.  The easiest thing to do 
(solving this issue and #1) is to create an isobutane .rtp entry and have 
pdb2gmx do all the work for you.  It's very simple to do.
