The 15km used to give me the same problem though. If you run <a href="http://g2ctl.pl" target="_blank">g2ctl.pl</a> on the concatenated grib2 file, it will give you one grid description. The problem is that I believe that's just based on the first field it encounters, and there might be another field in the concatenated file that's on a different grid. I think I download all of those fields except ABSV, and since that's a derived field, I would suspect it might be the one on a different grid. I would recommend downloading your usual files, but leaving them in their separate grib2 files (1 field per file). Then pick a forecast time and run each file through <a href="http://g2ctl.pl" target="_blank">g2ctl.pl</a> and see what grid description it gives you.
