The problem was a missing grib table pointer in the decoder.
In the next release, we should have a way to let you create
a resource to point to the appropriate location instead of us
needing to give you a new jar file.

But for now, the new file is at:

ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/idv/untested/nc2.2.jar

replace the one in your IDV installation, making sure
you back up the old one.  It's getting to a point where there
might be conflicts between the idv.jar and the nc2.2.jar.
I did a quick test, but not a thorough one.

Also, please mention to Grant that I'm still trying to figure
out the differences between the grib and netcdf icing displays.
