Hi Samuel,

re:

I suggest doing the following just to make sure that everything is configured 
properly:

<as 'ldm'>
ldmadmin stop

<as 'mcidas'>
cd $MCDATA
gribadmin removedb

gribadmin makedb

<as 'ldm'>
ldmadmin start

Question:

- do you get an error when either removing or making the MySQL database?

  If yes, then you still have a problem...

All sites will see this message the first time that the GRIB filer (DMBIN) 
starts up
and tries to process data.  This is normal.

The reason for the message is that the pointer file used by DMBIN, GRBFILER.PRO,
has not yet been created.  After the first failure, the file will exist and
be used from then on.  By the way, GRBFILER.PRO should now exist in your
$MCDATA directory; does it?
