[THREDDS #GHR-456072]: nullPointerException in when accessing 4.3.15 GRIB featureCollection's

Hi Dan:

1) can you redo this with "ls -l" to get time, size and ownership?
   can restrict to *grb*

2) I see some .grb2 in some directories, not sure what they are:

./200711/20071130/gfsanl_3_20071130_1800_006.grb
./200711/20071130/gfsanl_3_20071130_1800_006.grb.gbx9
./200711/20071130/gfsanl_3_20071130_1800_006.grb.ncx
./200711/20071130/gfsanl_3_20071130_1800_006.idx
./200711/20071130/gfsanl_3_20071130_1800_006.inv
./200711/20071130/gfsanl_4_20071130_1200_000.grb2
./200711/20071130/gfsanl_4_20071130_1200_003.grb2
./200711/20071130/gfsanl_4_20071130_1200_006.grb2
./200711/20071130/gfsanl_4_20071130_1800_000.grb2
./200711/20071130/gfsanl_4_20071130_1800_003.grb2
./200711/20071130/gfsanl_4_20071130_1800_006.grb2

3) the gbx9 and ncx files are the cdm index files. But you have

        <GribIndex>
                <alwaysUse>true</alwaysUse>
                
<dir>/home/tomcat/tomcat-main.4.3.14/content/thredds/cache/GribIndex</dir>
                <policy>nestedDirectory</policy>
                <scour>48 hours</scour>
                <maxAge>90 days</maxAge>
        </GribIndex>

so these will go into 
/home/tomcat/tomcat-main.4.3.14/content/thredds/cache/GribIndex/

if you are sure this is what you want to do, for sure delete the gbx9 and ncx 
files in the data dirs.

4) i need a file listing on 
/home/tomcat/tomcat-main.4.3.14/content/thredds/cache/GribIndex/ 

5) we might want to get this working on just one month first.
