Polar stereographic map bug!

Hi Everyone,
Recently I have noticed an issue with my wps plots. The landmask output
from the geo_em.d01 and the map lines from ncl are very different. Please
see the attached plot. For example for Japan the landmask(red) and the ncl
map borders (white)are very different.
I highly appreciate your comments on this issue.

I am trying to make a polar stereographic plot with the following
namelist.wps options:
&geogrid
 parent_id = 1,
 parent_grid_ratio = 1,
 i_parent_start = 1,
 j_parent_start = 1,
 e_we = 250,
 e_sn = 250,
 geog_data_res = '10m',
 dx = 60000,
 dy = 60000,
 map_proj = 'polar',
 ref_lat = 83.00,
 ref_lon = 110.00,
 truelat1 = 90.0,
 truelat2 = 90.0,
 stand_lon = -40.0,
/

and the ncl script I used is :(from:
http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutorial/Graphics/NCL/Examples/BASIC/wrf_wps_ter4.ncl
)

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/wrf/WRFUserARW.ncl" ; Add
special wrf functions

begin

  a = addfile("./geo_em.d01.nc","r") ; Open a file

  type = "x11"
  wks = gsn_open_wks(type,"plt_geo_4") ; Create a plot workstation

  opts = True ; Set some Basic Plot options
  opts@MainTitle = "GEOGRID FIELDS"

  ter = a->LANDMASK(0,:,:) ; Read the variable to memory

  res = opts ; Use basic options for this field
  res@cnFillOn = True ; Create a color fill plot

  contour = wrf_contour(a,wks,ter,res)

  pltres = True ; Set plot options
  mpres = True ; Set map options
  plot = wrf_map_overlays(a,wks,(/contour/),pltres,mpres) ; Plot the
data over a map background

end

Regards,
Negin
