Travis,
Exactly what command(s) are you issuing when you get this error?  Keep in
mind that you can set the horizontal position of the data in multiple ways
in grads.  You can do either 'set lon ____' or 'set x ____'.  These will
have different meanings and if you misuse them, you will get errors like
those you are getting.
