Brett,

Looking at the $GEMPAKHOME/src/programs/gdvint/vgopen.f source, the 
-15 error can be caused by the output grid file possesing a different
grid projection and/or projection angles than the input file- eg
trying to output to a lcc projection if the input is ced, or if
the proj = lcc/25;-90;25 and the output was to lcc with different angles.

To get to our ftp account, use the following:
machine: ftp.unidata.ucar.edu
login: gbuddy
password: XXXXXX

once connected, you can cd to the incoming directory and upload your files.
