Hi Heather,

My first guess is that the YYYYMMDD defined for GDATTIM is not found because 
your datatype.tbl FILE TEMPLATE of "m*" does not allow for the explicit GDATTIM 
date to be found. You should stay consistent with the default entry, so use 
m_YYYYMMDDHH_* for your file naming instead of m*.  The grid routines do not 
know where to find the files otherwise.

Are you seeing the error "Unable to process GDATTIM = 101205/0500f007"?
