[gradsusr] strange problem displaying grib1 file

Greetings,

I am trying to display any variable from this grib1 file 
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49680943/wrf4nssl_2014032712.f36.CHS_subset 
but no matter what I try, I always seem to get a "Cannot contour grid - 
all undefined values" error.  I attached the control file that 
grib2ctl.pl gives me.  I have tried it both with and without the -verf 
option with no luck.  I am at a loss as to what to do as I've never had 
this problem before.  Neither grib2ctl.pl nor gribmap gives me any 
errors.  It is probably something very simple that I'm overlooking.  Can 
anyone solve it?  Thanks.

-Don
