You need to change DSET to:

DSET ^OMI-Aura_L3-OMSO2e_%y4m%m2%d2_v003.he5

and make sure the files are actually named something like:

OMI-Aura_L3-OMSO2e_2004m1001_v003.he5

What I like to do is keep the original files as downloaded from the archive, 
and then set up symbolic links with those types of names above. You can write 
a short Unix shell script to do this:

for file in OMI-Aura_L3-OMSO2e*.he5
do
  ln -s $file `echo $file | cut -c1-33`".he5"
done

I would also set TDEF to:

TDEF  3014 linear 01oct2004 1dy

and then you'll be able to read any of the files through the end of 2012, also 
the first day for OMI data is Oct. 1, 2004 (launch was July 15, 2004).
