Hi Uli,

If you're running a multi-tile experiment (which it appears to be), then
there will be a series of files of the form:

  name.TIMESTEP.TID1.TID2.data

where TIMESTEP is as Martin described and the TID1.TID2 parts are the
x,y tile number indicies.  Things to check are:

  1) did you make sure to create the pickup files for all the 
     different needed TID1.TID2 values (001,002,...)?

  2) did you look in the end of the output (STDOUT.xxx) to see 
     what was happening within the model when it failed to read 
     the file--this should give a good idea
