Bruce,
A couple of things are going on here. First, the class cast exception is not 
the one
you were having but a different one. This one comes from the use of the
fileset in the isl. I'll fix that.  Secondly, it looks like you are loading in
a number of different grid files. Our grid data source only takes one file/url
reference.  

If all you want to do is load in a datasource into the IDV and *not* 
automatically
create displays just do:
 -datasource <opendap url> 
on the command line.   

You can also specify the -setfiles on the command line as well.

I'll try to track down why you got the error using the display tag.
The display tag isn't very fleshed out yet. If you want to automatically
create displays I would suggest the bundle route.  There are probably 
some issues with using the ISL in a an interactive mode as well.
