anonymous,

You have several problems with your use of SFMAP.

First, your FILTER setting is tremendously large so that
you only see one station plotted. Do you want to see station data?
If so, you are not setting SFFILE for use in SFMAP. Typically
FILETR is a number between 0 (no filtering) and 1 (no overlapping)
but it can be larger than 1 for more spacing. Your value of
999999 really doesn't make since as it is clipping out all other data.

If you aren't trying to overlay surface data (metar, synoptic etc)
on your image, then you should use GPMAP instead of SFMAP.

For your lutfil, you should simply provide:
LUTFIL=wv_upc2.tbl

You do not need to provide that path as you are doing. The GEMTBL environmental
variable is all that is needed to find the enhancements in $GEMTBL/luts.
With CLRBAR, you will get the scale as provided by the LUTFIL variable,
but you may need to either decrease the font size in TEXT, or
use the position location control in CLRBAR such that if you use a larget text 
size,
it doesn't get clipped by the boundary of the displayable window. That is, you
may have to set the margins of your plot or move the bar to ensure that it
is viewable within the window that is being created.
