Dave,
    The grib index feature is working now in our nightly release. But we 
already merge the progressive resolution into the nightly and would not suggest 
the user to use the current nightly to build the bundle at this moment. By the 
way, the Jeff already fixed the bundle issue in the new RAMADDA release.
