Could not read GFS grib2 forecast data

I have been unable to read GFS grib2 files using NCL 5.1.0. Whenever I issue
"ncl_filedump 2009102712_fh.0000_tl.press_gr.1p0deg.grib2"
(2009102712_fh.0000_tl.press_gr.1p0deg.grib2 is my GFS grib2 file), I get
the following messages:

[zhangyx@magen-dev-int1 input.gfs3]$ ncl_filedump

   file global attributes:

   variables:

[zhangyx@magen-dev-int1 input.gfs3]$

It seems that NCL is doing something but nothing useful really shows up. I
have uploaded my GFS grib2 file at ftp://ftp.cgd.ucar.edu/incoming (file
name: 2009102712_fh.0000_tl.press_gr.1p0deg.grib2). Would someone please
take a look and let me know if you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Yongxin
