[gradsusr] Unable to plot data after gribmap

[Brad Navarro]

Greetings,

I have 8 files which are named gfs.t18z.pgrbf00_run2.grib2, gfs.t18z.pgrbf24_run2.grib2,....gfs.t18z.pgrbf168_run2.grib2 (24hr increments). The first file is valid at 06Z07MAY2014.
I setup my control file per the below and run gribmap, which runs perfectly fine with no errors.  However, when I plot, only the t=1 works, the rest give me a "grid undefined" error. So it seems GrADS is unable to open the other data files. I must admit that I am stumped on this one, though it seems pretty straightforward. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is not working?
