**PLEASE .. in the future, include an appropriate Subject.**
**Next time ... no one will answer**
=========================

[1] As noted in all the SVD function documentation, they will not
     handle any data values tagged as _FillValue.

     I think what you did was

        x&_FillValue = 0.0

     This will change the _FillValue to 0.0 but I the function
     still 'sees' it is tagged as _FillValue. Add the following
     after the above

        delete(x&_FillValue)

     The function will not recognize 0.0 as anything special.

     If that does not work, I'm not sure what to do.
     How would, say, Matlab handle missing values?

[2] svdcov is something Bretherton et al discuss. It is an
     application of SVD. See the function documentation.
     **Note the caveat.**

     svdcov_sv is basically a direct application of an LAPACK
     SVD subroutine to the covariance matrix derived from
     the input x and y arrays
