I'm trying to recover MSL pressure and 10m winds from GFS Analysis Complete using the GrADSDODS script below, but it gives me this error even though vgrd10m is listed in the 145 variables available.  Is there something I'm missing here?

  d vgrd10m
Failure reading SDF data.  #1
Data Request Error:  Error for variable 'vgrd10m'
  Error ocurred at column 1
DISPLAY error:  Invalid expression
  Expression = vgrd10m
EXEC error:  error in GetCompAnal.txt.  EXEC stopped.
