I am not sure if the following info may be relevant to your problem,
but it appears that GFS Grid data has changed since May 22, 2012.. see
below..

Dear WRF Users,
Since May 22, 2012 (1200 UTC) real-time GFS GRIB2 data have changed.
This is causing ungrib to extract incorrect data for surface fields.
If your domain includes a pole or the Prime Meridian (0? longitude),
program real may abort.  If your domain lies elsewhere, the real
program may not abort, but you will likely get incorrect surface
fields.
