Andreea Ira,

>SIGH<  The udunits syntax errors can be ignored, I think.  However,
the last two errors (alleged dimension not an SDF dimension) are fatal.
The trouble is, I can't see why it's happening.  I've gone over and
over the code in GrADS responsible for this, and I don't believe it
should be happening.  I'm flummoxed.  I don't know what to suggest.
I'm sorry I don't have a better answer.
