Robert,
The likely problem is that your grid hasn't been flushed to disk yet
from the decoder.
For the HAXA00 grids, I use a separate dcgrib2 action with PIPE -close.
In the general model grid file case, where there are lots of grids
coming in, this generally isn't an issue, but for the 30 minute
gaps between subsequent HAXA00 products, you can see this effect.
