Trying to get correct map over rotated lat-lon data

Dear NCL talk
help,

I would like to
kindly ask for some advice regarding the plotting of rotated lat-lon
output. I am currently trying to plot the output from a rotated
lat-lon grid using NCL...

When I make the
contour plot of my variable (psfc), all of the contoured data appears
where I expect and want it to be, the land-sea boundaries can even be
detected as the value of the variable changes. So everything seems
fine in that respect.

However, when I
try to plot the national/geographical borders using a map overlay,
the borders are all in the wrong places. Please see the attached
image, in which it is clearly visible.

The variable I
am plotting (PSFC) is made up of (time, west_east, south_north), with
west_east and south_north corresponding to a point on the
computational grid (i.e. they're defined by a lat and lon from the
computational grid).

I also have 2D
arrays (XLAT and XLONG) giving the geographical latitude and
longitude for every point on the computational grid. I tried to use
these to plot the geographical boundaries in the correct location,
but sadly to no avail.

I have looked
through the NCL talk archives and on the NCL website, but
unfortunately nothing I've tried has worked so far.

I'll include my
script below and also attach a copy of the output from an
ncl_filedump on my data. You'll notice in the script below that lots
of the map options are commented out; that's because several tries
showed them to make no difference whatsoever to the plot I received,
whether they were included or commented out (I did try plotting with
them uncommented though, in several different combinations). The only
one of those options that did make a difference was setting
mpres@mpCenterLatF = a@CEN_LAT. But that only changed it from one
incorrect plot to another incorrect one, albeit the new looks
slightly better (attached).

If you had any guidance as to where I might be going wrong I would be
most appreciative.

Many thanks for any advice,
Dave.
