Tony,

Bummer!

You don't need to remake the queue UNLESS it gets munged.  Remaking it
in a situation like this would not hurt, however, since you lost the
last hours worth of data anyway (when the queue gets remade, the LDM
requests the previous hour's worth of data from its upstream feeder(s)).

Please let me know if this clears up the XCD GRID decoding problem.
