Yep, I found a silly bug that has been there for ages. My only
explanation is that noone writes grib only, or writing grads_grid was
a simple enough work around. In any event, Can you try the attached
script and let me know if it works? I'll then update the one on the
website.

No need for you to rebuild LATS on your machine. LATS is statically
linked into the GrADS binaries to avoid this sort of incompatibility
problem. The bug was actually on my script.
