Replace
    res@cnFillMode = "RasterFill"

with
    res@cnFillMode = "CellFill"

Also, a new plotting algorithim is being tested,
please ftp the file to

ftp ftp.cgd.ucar.edu
anonymous
email
cd incoming
put MYD09A1.A2007273.h03v07.005.2007285103507.hdf
quit

Send an email after the successful transfer.
