Did you set the station ID or go with "I'm Feeling Lucky".  If the latter,
apparently you aren't. ;-)

I'm guessing that's the problem and that the files you downloaded from
NCDC don't have the station ID in them. Could you put out a sample file 
for me to test with?  At the very least, we should give a better message.

If setting the station name does not fix the problem, try unchecking
the Use CDM box and try loading it that way.
