Jennie,

I believe the problem is a lack of robustness in garp, where the default
model widget is set to "eta", but you don't have any eta data.

In $GARPHOME/config/Garp_defaults, the "# Widget Defaults" section has
"model      : eta"
You want this to be gfs003 instead!

I have attached a replacemnt Garp_defaults file which you can use with this 
change.
I'll have to see if Garp can be made more robust to handle the lack of data 
directory!
