Matt,

I had to rename some of the model file names here while I'm working
on NMAP for GEMPAK6.0. As a result, in the Garp_defaults, where previou;y
I have model keys like eta_211, now its eta211 (for files in the $HDS 
directory named YYYYMMDDHH_eta211.gem.

At any rate, you probably need to set the modelkeys in Garp_defaults
to match your file naming convention (as well as the garea and proj keys 
further down).

The error message you are receiving is probably from the default model
widget selection which is set at:

# Widget defaults
#
# Choose default values for the model, vertical coordinate, levels,
# function, default fdf chapters, cross-section line, time-height
# station, vertical profile axis types, radar ring station, upper
# air levels and upper air filter.
#
model           : eta211


Here the default model in the popup is set to the eta211key, which matches the 
eta211
modelkey I mentioned above. When you change the keys to match your convention,
you also will want to change the default model key (and the fdf/scalar and 
fdf/vector
subdirectory names).
