>>>    So I don't really understand the xdfopen option, but at least I can open the file now.

sdfopen == the existing metadata in the file is adequate for GrADS to open it
xdfopen == the existing metadata in the file is incomplete, so user provides what is missing for GrADS to open it
open == user provides all the metadata that is needed for GrADS to open the file
