Bob,
It seems like things are correct. Are you running Garp 2.02?
Is the profiler directory location being correctly defined at
the top of the file Garp_defaults? 

The purpose for separating the profiler in to the HH=00,12 files is because
otherwise the number of 6 minute observations in a day exceeds the maximum
number of times allowed. Since Garp can open multiple files, it can
still exceed the maximum allowd times if you try to plot 6 minute intervals
for 24 hours. You can plot 24 hours at 12 minute intervals, or
12 hours at 6 minute intervals- both will use less than the
200 maximum times allowed.

If the above doesn't shed any light, could you send me your
Garp_defaults file, along with the Garp version you are
running and the operating system you are running under.
