Weird error from contributed...

Hello NCL

I have a one year file of sea surface currents u and v. I am trying to
calculate the mean for the entire time. The data is [8711 x 130 x 138]

I am able to load the u and v and printvarsummary tells me the
dimensions of the data.

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"

; open file and read in data
diri = "/Users/lemus/Documents/MARCOOS/netcdf_comp/year/"
fili = "2009_year.nc"
; adds the data into the u and the v with lat and lon
fin = addfile(diri+fili,"r")
u = fin->u(:,:,:)
v = fin->v(:,:,:)
printVarSummary(u) ; This will plot the variables u and v
printVarSummary(v)

When I do a dim_avg_n_Wrap it chokes and I get the following error:

uAvg = dim_avg_n_Wrap(u,0) ;Avg of grid points with Time (lat,lon)
vAvg = dim_avg_n_Wrap(v,0) ;Avg of grid points with Time (lat,lon)
Avgspd = sqrt(uAvg^2+vAvg^2)
printVarSummary(Avgspd)
printVarSummary(uAvg)
exit

Is there anything wrong on the data set or is it to much files to
handle, Please let me know.
