Chris,

The message you have is generally caused with a conflict in file
naming with the (gridT) template in $GARPHOME/config/Garp_defaults.

How are you files named and are they stored in single or multiple forecast 
time files? Are you trying to use Garp's "look for all files in a directory 
with a pattern" 
feature, or have you defined a data set alias in $GEMTBL/config/datatype.tbl 
and using that data set name
in your modelkeys?
