Alberto,
Thanks for providing the files offline.
Did you know that you have an NCARG_RANGS setting inside your shell script?
export NCARG_RANGS=/data/research/wrf/northseaUK/plot_scripts/ncl/rangs/
This may be the source of your problem. This setting is going to override whatever
you have NCARG_RANGS set to in your current UNIX shell.
