Is this a copy-paste error in the e-mail text, or what is in actually the 
input file?

{* separate chains by segid - a new segid starts a new chain *}
{+ choice: true false +}
{===>} n{============================= water files 
=================================}

I do not see a value entered for the separate chains by segid line, which you 
have for the protein entry.

Secondly, have you looked at the output for error messages and whether or not 
the first RNA chain is being loaded at all?  The input only lines are not 
very useful without seeing the output messages.  Also, it is much easier to 
examine the script/output if they are attached as files, rather than pasted 
into the e-mail text as that tends to disrupt formating, which is vital in 
scripts running properly.  I suggest repeating the generate run and making 
sure to pass the output to a log file, ie;

cns < generate.inp > generate.log

and attaching both.
