Hi Dan, I don't think an upgrade to the current TDS version will help this problem. Is this file being generated by the CatalogGen application on some regular basis or was it all done by hand and is pretty static? Try moving this catalog out of the content/thredds/cataloggen/catalog/ directory and into content/thredds or a non-"cataloggen" subdirectory of content/thredds. The problem is that any URL requests starting with /thredds/cataloggen/ are handled by the CatGenServlet instead of the main TDS code. So, the cataloggen/ directory should only contain catGen config files and catGen generated catalogs. CatGen generated catalogs weren't designed to deal with datasetScan or aggregation stuff. It might work with a few more steps but it would be better to keep datasetScan and aggregation stuff out of the cataloggen directory. Let me know if moving the catalog works. Also, is the catalog referenced by the catalog tree starting at catalog.xml (or listed in threddsConfig.xml in a catalogRoot element)?
