problem reading multiple netcdf files in ncl v 5.1.0

Sorry, I spoke too soon. Changing the ListSetType from "join" to
"cat" allows me to read in the first 30 files, but I get a new error
when trying to read in the next 30. Again, this script runs fine on
ncl 5.0.1, but does not work on ncl 5.1.0. Looks like it's having
trouble cleaning up the netCDF file connections....

-Jamie

modified script:

output from ncl:
