No, Votca is 100% correct, and does what it is supposed to do.

First, have a look at your ACI-ACI.dist.tgt again, this distribution
doesn't go to one hence the potential doesn't go to 0 for large r.
And that is mainly the reason why VOTCA cannot handle it,
ACI-ACI.dist.tgt is not a common rdf!
You will have to provide an initial guess (pot.in) to make it work.
(Please also read my email from July 10th again.)

Second, VOTCA does exactly what it is supposed to do. Go into gnuplot and run:
p [0:3][-20:5] "ACI-ACI.dist.tgt" u 1:(-2.49435*log($2)-5.7) w l,
"ACI-ACI.pot.cur" w l
Except for some small deviations, which come from the cubic spline
interpolation, there is no difference in the curves.
As Victor said before, VOTCA shifts the potential to be zero at the
cutoff -> -10.433 - 5.7 = -16.1. This shift of 5.7 makes no difference
for the thermodynamics however.

Third, even pot.new is correct. Run
$ paste ACI-ACI.dist.new <(sed '/^#/d' ACI-ACI.dist.tgt) <(sed '/^#/d'
ACI-ACI.pot.cur) > ACI-ACI.temp
to generate a temp file.
And go into gnuplot and plot:
p [0:3][-20:5] "ACI-ACI.temp" u 1:(2.49435*log($2/$5)+$8-16.1) w l,
"ACI-ACI.pot.new" w l
There is basically no difference in the curves.

Conclusion:
- check your distributions again
- provide pot.in for the interaction, which don't have a "common" rdf
(meaning which doesn't go to 1)
