You must place a file extension the end of the file name.
The extension is how NCL knows how to treat the file.

    INPUT=addfile("A09686-6801.pgb.f00.grb","r")

another approach

    fname = "A09686-6801.pgb.f00"
    INPUT = addfile(fname+".grb","r")

or
    dname = "./" ; input directory
    fname = "A09686-6801.pgb.f00"
    INPUT = addfile(dname+fname+".grb","r")

NCL will initially look for the file named:
A09686-6801.pgb.f00.grb

If it does not find a file by that name, it will look
for the file A09686-6801.pgb ans remember it has
been tagged as a rib file.

For fun, try

%> ncl_filedump A09686-6801.pgb.f00.grb | less

Good Luck
