Hi Tom,

My first guess is that permission to write a file does not exist in the 
directory being used.  Can you confirm this is the case or not?  I just ran the 
same procedure on my machine for the 0.5 degree GFS (file  
ftp://ftp.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/gfs.2015101212/gfs.t12z.pgrb2.0p50.f000
 ) and confirmed that it worked:

 GRID FILE: test.grd

 GRID NAVIGATION: 
     PROJECTION:          CED 
     ANGLES:                 0.0     0.0     0.0
     GRID SIZE:          720 361

       322 GRIB messages were read or scanned from the GRIB file:
                                                     gfs.t12z.pgrb2.0p50.f000

       316 grids were written to the GEMPAK file:
                                                                     test.grd
