Hi Bo,

To begin with, I didn't see any SGMA vertical coordinates in the gem file 
produced from narr-b, which contain only the 3hr sfc forecast. I converted the 
narr-a (analysis) grib file to gem, and if you look at it with GDINFO you'll 
see the grids available (also outlined in 
http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/docs/narr_archive_contents.pdf ) don't include any 
with SGMA vertical coordinates. So are you sure you're using the correct file 
with GDVINT?  It's always a good idea to check the grids in a gem file with 
GDINFO before beginning.
