Jim-

Running your bundle (which I didn't do before the last note), it seems like you 
are only using the last 18 hours or so.  Usually that's not a problem, but 
again, since there are only 96 images and there are 4 image/hour, you've only 
go 24 hours of images available.  Best to use the GINIALL dataset, or get 
Unidata to store more images in the realtime datasets.  but again, using the 
latest build, it should not fail, just only get the images that match.
