Hello Flavio,

Usually in cases like this, copying existing grib tables to the table names 
trying to be used - wmogrib203.tbl, for example - will solve the problem.  But 
the projection error worries me.  Can you please upload the file 
cosmo_met5_00_20140514000 to our repository here

http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/gempakuploads/

so I can take a look at it?  Or point me to an available download online...

Michael
