[MITgcm-support] Problem with gluemnc.m / mnc_assembly.m

[Ryan Abernathey]

Dear GCM People,

I am trying to use gluemnc.m to glue together my output netcdf files.  
The script runs with no errors, but the resulting output file is an  
empty netcdf file. This is very frustrating because I can't look at  
the output of my model in one piece. Does anyone have any idea what  
could be wrong?

I have confirmed that the problem is inside mnc_assembly.m by just  
running the commands of gluemnc.m manually from the command line. I am  
using MATLAB 7.6.0.324 (R2008a).

Many thanks for the help,
Ryan
