THREDDS gurus:
We are trying to get the DODS aggregation server going using the thredds.war distribution.
I've got a very simple catalogConfig.xml file <http://stellwagen.er.usgs.gov/rps/catalogConfig.xml> that just contatenates two OpenDAP-served files along the record dimension. This file is installed in $TOMCAT_HOME/content/thredds/dodsC
When I access <http://coast-enviro.er.usgs.gov:8080/dodsC> and click on (for example) the .dds I get: 

Error {
   code = 1;
   message = "Dataset not found in catalog; urlPath= <roms_sed/sed025/history>";
};
I gave the catalogConfig.xml to a colleague who already has a aggregation server running and he said it works fine, so the problem doesn't seem to be the ability of our server to serve the DODS files, and it doesn't seem like there is a problem with the catalogConfig.xml either. Is there something else we have to configure? I didn't do anything with /thredds/catalog.xml, for example, because I wasn't interested in getting the catalog server going, only the aggregation server.
I looked at the log files, and they just say the same thing as the error message above. 

Seems like we must be missing something simple!
