ok it is reading it, i assume you are not getting the error message anymore.

the validator form, etc have links from http://dodsdev.gso.uri.edu:8080/thredds/docs/ 

I see that I didnt fix the "absolute URL" problem completely in my previous 
version. I just put a new version out that should allow your catrefs to view all the way 
to the DODS access form. try installing that and see how it looks

thanks
