The CG database file format is described in the help for the CG Tools plugin at
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/plugins/cgtools/
If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you will see an example file with an
explanation of the format.

The PSF file should be loaded into the molecule you are wanting to coarse grain.
