I believe this error is because GDFILE is looking in your present working 
directory for ruc_20100313_0600.gem and ruc_20100313_0900.gem.  you'll need to 
add the $MODEL/ruc/ path before the file names.

> I tried the following changes:
> GDFILE = ruc_20100313_0600.gem ! ruc_20100313_0900.gem
> GDATTIM = 0600F000:0900F000 ! 0900F000

> Now I got the following error: [DG -51]  Grid file or template does not exist.
