grib decoder

Hi,

When I use NCL or PyNGL on the included sample grib1 file, it
works great. But when I try to use them on a grib1 file
from NOAA they die, claiming:
  fatal:An internal error has occurred. The file format requested
  does not appear to be supported, could not open
  (fh.000_tl.press_ar.octanti)

The file in question is at:
  ftp -p tgftp.nws.noaa.gov
  cd /SL.us008001/ST.opnl/MT.gfs_CY.00/RD.20071211/PT.grid_DF.gr1
  get fh.000_tl.press_ar.octanti

Why doesn't NCL understand NOAA's grib?

Thanks,

Steve
